AWS Cost Explorer | How to visualize AWS Transfer Cost (in and out)
Hello everyone,
Please, I cannot visualize the costs related to data transfer (in and out), though AWS Cost Explorer for my EC2 instances. In the attached files, there is no data on January, February, and March/2024, even though there were network traffic in my account. The query was performed using: dimension (service), filters (ec2: data transfer internet (In) and ec2: data transfer (Out))
Is there any way I can see this data?

The reason you're not seeing costs related to data transfer in/out is that you haven't exceeded the monthly free tier limit of 100GB for data transfer out to the internet. Here's a clearer breakdown:
-
EC2 Data Transfer Out to the Internet: Free for the first 100GB each month, aggregated across all AWS services and regions (except China and GovCloud). Once you exceed this limit, charges will apply.
-
EC2 Data Transfer In to the Internet: There is no charge for inbound data transfer to EC2 instances.
It's important to note that the 100GB free tier for data transfer out is a global limit and is not applied separately to each AWS region.
"It's important to note that the 100GB free tier for data transfer out is a global limit and is not applied separately to each AWS region." is this valid for paid account?
Yes, you will be billed for data transfer out to the internet after you consume the 100 GB of free data transfer allocated each month. This means you will have 100 GB of free data transfer available to you every month.
Could you chech the select the below option(*1) on the Cost Explorer?
You will be able to more details the ec2.

I have already tested this earlier, but it doesn't help me to understand this scenario.

I know that there is no cost associated with traffic from the Internet to my EC2 instances, yet there was traffic from my EC2 instance to the Internet.
