S3 request metrics filter and billing

0

I'm looking into possible ways to track access to S3 objects, and one that came up are request metrics filters. However, the documentation has me highly confused about what I am getting myself into.

After activating one filter, all 9 request filters are showing up for the bucket in cloudwatch. So what I wonder now is, if I add more filters, does each count as 9 metrics for billing purposes and for the 1000-metrics per bucket limit, or have the 9 metrics just been added with the first filter and any subsequent filter does not increase the total count of billed metrics? I cannot find a clear, unambiguous answer to that question anywhere.

Hello.

I think each metric created with a filter enabled is counted individually.
In other words, if nine metrics are created, they will be counted as nine metrics.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/metrics-configurations.html

I'm also curious about the exact information, so I'm currently contacting AWS support.
I'll share the information once I have it.

    I received an answer from AWS Support. In other words, if you create a filter and nine metrics are created, that will count as nine metrics.

    Thanks! The question is more, Once those 9 metrics are created, and I create another filter for these nine metrics, do they count as 9 additional metrics, or does it stay at those 9, just with two filters?

    If there are two filters, the number of metrics will increase accordingly, so it will be counted twice as many, at 18.
