S3 Request tier 2 - why so high

Question

Hi,

I've got a very low use website using S3 to store some media files (audio and user owned images).

There are about 10 'test' users on the site each month and S3 Requests-Tier1 seem fine, very low, **but   **S3 **Requests-Tier2** seems **very high** for a test server?

```
Amazon Simple Storage Service Requests-Tier1 
$0.005 per 1,000 PUT, COPY, POST, or LIST requests 72.000

Amazon Simple Storage Service Requests-Tier2
$0.004 per 10,000 GET and all other requests 38,060,093.000

```

I'm confused as to what these 38,060,093.000 requests are and I'm struggling to find out.
I'd greatly appreciate any advice as to how I can work out what's happening here.
Please keep in mind that I'm quite new to S3 in general.

EDIT:  I realise that the answer might be somewhere within the Storage Lens but I'm struggling to find it.

You could find this through CloudTrail logs if 'Data Events' are already enabled.
