Cost for NVME instance storage when stopped

Question

We're looking at using some GPU-enabled EC2 instances which come with NVME instance storage. I can't find any information on how much NVME storage will cost when the instances are shut down, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Instance store is included in the Amazon EC2 instance price and is not a separate charge. Therefore, you are not billed for the NVME instance store when an instance is stopped. Additional details:

I think there is a misunderstanding between instance store and instance storage.

NVME are disks provided as EBS, no information is deleted when the instance is stopped.

The original question is to find out how much that NVME storage costs when the instance is turned off, since AWS clarifies that while the EC2 instance is stopped or turned off the Disk (EBS) continues to generate costs.
