You don't pay for just changing the storage type. But the question I would like to ask is why you are changing from GP2 to Magnetic? Magnetic storage is legacy for backward compatibility. We recommend that you use General Purpose SSD or Provisioned IOPS SSD for any new storage needs. The following are some limitations for magnetic storage:
- Doesn't allow you to scale storage when using the SQL Server database engine.
- Doesn't allow you to convert to a different storage type when using the SQL Server database engine.
- Doesn't support storage autoscaling.
- Doesn't support elastic volumes.
- Limited to a maximum size of 3 TiB.
- Limited to a maximum of 1,000 IOPS.

I am concerned about the pricing because, for some reason, my RDS has grown to 520 GB of storage. I don't know how to shrink it. First, I need to stop paying so much for storage before migrating the database to another with less storage, when I try to update my storage this says that the minimum storage of the database is 520gb. All data in the database have something like 100mb of size
