Is 750.0 Hrs free per month or per year in EC2 free tier micro?

The AWS Free Tier provides 750 hours per month of t2.micro or t3.micro instances running Linux, RHEL, or SLES. This is for a 12 month period. To clarify:

• The 750 hours is a monthly limit that resets each month, not an annual limit.
• The hours can be used across multiple instances, as long as the total monthly usage does not exceed 750 hours.
• Usage is counted separately for Linux/RHEL/SLES instances versus Windows instances, so you also get 750 hours for t2.micro or t3.micro Windows instances each month.
• Running multiple instances within the usage limits will not incur any costs during the free tier period

Hi,

750h / month comes from the fact that 31days x 24hours = 744h

Basically, this is given to allow1 EC2 instance permanently up & running so that you can run long-lasting experiments.

Best,
