How to find out what is driving high Sagemaker costs

I'd suggest you to go to Cost Explorer and see what you find there

1. Go to Cost Explorer

2. Choose Dimension as Usage Type

3. Select Service as Sagemaker

4. Apply filter Usage Type

See, what this shows for that same time period. Next, change the filter from "Usage Type" to "API Operation" and see what are the contributors. Keep doing the same exercise by chaanging the filters to Region, Availability Zone, Charge Type. One or the other filter would definitely give you the lead where that charge is coming from.

There are many different things that can be costing you money and the Sagemaker UI can make it hard to see these things easily.

Here are the usual things that are going to be running up a bill.

1. Notebook Instances
2. Studio Instances (kernel gateway apps for Studio Classic, apps and spaces for New Studio)
3. Sagemaker Canvas and DataWrangler instances

The other thing to check is that you are not running something like Scheduled Notebook Jobs or any other types of job (Processing, Training, etc.)

Have you used Cost Explorer to review all SageMaker-related cost. You can just set SageMaker under the Service filter, then group by "Usage Type".
