I am very much confused in terms of how saving plan going to be adjusted between those instances? As an example, if we purchased 4 instances, each instance would cost **$5** per hour and a saving plan would cost **$4**, so we purchased a **compute saving plan** by committing **$13** per hour How this saving plan will be adjusted between those instances? Since 3 instances would consume **$12** how **$1** going to be adjusted? because we have purchased Rs.13 per hour saving plan?lg...

Dear friends, Greetings. I need help with a project in Quicksight that was delegated to me. I have the budget for 2023, where I have to add month by month the amounts spent. But I have not been able to find a way to add up the months to today. I have the following table in Quicksight, the idea is that at the end of the current month it shows the sum of the previous months. I have been thinking about a kpi, I don't know if it is the right one. lg...

Hi, My company is migrating to AWS from On-perm. I'm doing a POC to see what will be my egress cost when all the accounts move from On-perm to AWS. I have created the existing data model in AWS Redshift and accessing the data through Azure Power BI. I want to see cost while using the import model vs direct query. I have couple of reports in Power BI service pointing to AWS Redshift tables. I couldn't get any decent information from AWS team about how much data is being transferred from AWS to Public internet. I tried cost explorer, Bill sections and didn't find any useful information. I really appreciate if someone can show me where i can get either data transfer or egress information Thanks, Mikylg...

I'm using Redshift Serverless to run some tests, but I don't understand how it's being billed. I'm still on the Free Tier $300, but already used almost $50 of those, and according to my calculations, the cost should be less than $2 so far.  I understand that Redshift Serverless is billed for RPU and Storage. But when I check the usage using: ``` select date_trunc('day', start_time) usage_date, sum(compute_seconds) total_compute_seconds, sum(compute_seconds)/(60*60) total_compute_hours, total_compute_hours*0.375 total_compute_cost from sys_serverless_usage group by date_trunc('day', start_time); ``` Result shows that the cost should be less than $2 so far:  Storage doesn't seem to be the cost either, as the cost of it shows $0 so far, using: ``` SELECT date_trunc('day', start_time) usage_date, SUM((data_storage/(1024*1024*1024))*(datediff(s,start_time,end_time)/3600.0)) AS GB_hours, GB_hours / 720 AS GB_months, GB_months*0.024 AS storage_cost_day FROM sys_serverless_usage GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 1; ``` I need help to understand where the money is going, if there is some fixed cost or how is it draining so fast? I also tried to find Redshift Serverless on the Billing section, but it doesn't seem to be there (maybe cause it's still under the Free Tier, but some services show up there even when cost is $0) Thanks in advance!lg...

Why do I have 3 times to pay for Renewal of my domain? it is done every day and i see the message 3 times. but it did not work because my CC expired.

According to AWS documentation, `You can decrease your file system throughput in Provisioned Throughput mode as long as it’s been more than 24 hours since the last decrease. Additionally, you can change between Provisioned Throughput mode and the default Bursting Throughput mode as long as it’s been more than 24 hours since the last throughput mode change.` Does it also mean that if I enable Provisioned Throughput and then, switch back to Bursting Throughput mode after 24 hrs, the charges for the Provisioned Throughput are only for that 1 day or worst case 2 days? Has anyone had experience doing this? Thank you in advance.lg...
