cloudfront data transfer fetches from EC2 Origin

0

i have an instance in ec2 and a distribution in CloudFront, fetches from that instance in EC2. as i read in docs data transfer out From Amazon EC2 To Amazon CloudFront is free and my current Data Transfer Bills are confirm that: $0.00 per GB data transfer out of EU (Germany) to CloudFront 179.282 GB

but cloudFront Bills is a little not clear. i thought Data transfer out of cloudfront to internet fetches from an EC2 origin should be free too. this is my Bill about cloudfront: $0.000 per GB - data transfer out under the global monthly free tier 175.576 GB i know first 1TB data transfer out of cloudfront to internet is free. but not sure after 1TB it would be free or not? (as my Data is fetched from an EC2 origin)

Data Transfer out from EC2 to CloudFront will always be free as specified on the pricing page [1] (see "Data Transfer OUT From Amazon EC2 To" Table and the first item is CloudFront). So even after you finish with the free tier, there will still be no charge for that data traffic.

As you stated, CloudFront Data Transfer Out is free for the first 1TB and after that the pricing depends on how much data is transferred out and where the traffic is going (where the end user is located) [2].

    1TB data transfer out of cloudfront is part of free tier and in all condition is free, ok. but in the 2nd link you have sent there's a state: Free for origin fetches from any AWS origin such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), or Elastic Load Balancers. what i understand is that if your origin be an EC2 instance, then your Data Transfer out from cloudfront will always be free, even after 1TB. Am i right?
