Why has RDS fee suddenly increased?
Hi. My RDS fee has increased from April. But, access hasn't increased a lot and I'm keeping to use reserved instance.
Is the reserved instance not being applied? How can I check whether reserved instances are available for the instance I am using? What else could be the cause?

Hello.
Try checking the RDS breakdown using Cost Explorer by filtering as below.
Dimension: Usage type
Service: RDS
Thank you. My issue may be related to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/extended-support-charges.html. I'm going to upgrade my RDS and I'm gonna watch the progress.
That is correct, you can upgrade your instance to a supported version.

I think you can check the application rate of Reserved Instances by following the steps described in the document below. https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/ec2-ri-utilization-coverage-cost-explorer
If there is anything else, I think it would be the cost of extended support for RDS. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/PostgreSQLReleaseNotes/postgresql-release-calendar.html#Release.Calendar https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/extended-support-charges.html
