EC2 - Other charges

Question

Hi,

This month I moved out from AWS free tier and now I am seeing charges under EC2 - Other category. I do not have any EC2 instances running. I had created certain instances earlier which I stopped. Here is a snapshot of my EC2 dashboard: https://ibb.co/ZNS5fZL

Any pointers on how can I check this?

TIA,
dbeings

You have two instances with two provisioned volumes. Even not running you pay for those volumes that are provisioned. In order to stop paying you must to terminate those instances. And to make sure please check your AMIs and snapshots, if you have something there it will also have a cost.

You are paying for the EBS volumes , AMI and Snapshots although the cost for AMI and snapshots are minimal even if your instances are stopped. 
If your application has some logic towards it then AMI/snapshots needs to be there as backup from where you can just get the data back whenever you need it.

After stopped EC2 following thing you need to check : 
1. Any elastic IP attached to EC2 should get de allocate. if keep there then there will be charges for reservation
2. Default EBS volume you need to delete also if any extra EBS volume you added can check in EBS 
3. If any ELB ( load balancer ) attached to EC2 
4. You can go to Billing dashboard select month can find there EC2 category what are you getting charge can easily find.
