1. Without access to your specific account details, I cannot determine your current AWS support plan. AWS offers several support plans including Basic, Developer, Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, and Enterprise.

2. All AWS customers have access to Basic Support features at no additional cost, which includes:

• 24/7 customer service for account and billing questions
• Access to AWS documentation, whitepapers, and support forums
• Access to AWS Trusted Advisor core checks
• AWS Health Dashboard

3. AWS Free Tier offers limited free usage for certain services for 12 months after account creation. Specific limits vary by service.

4. EC2 instance types available depend on your region and specific use case, not your support plan. A wide range of instance types are generally available to all customers.

5-7. I cannot provide information about using AWS resources for cryptocurrency mining or compare AWS instances to mining hardware. AWS does not allow cryptocurrency mining using Free Tier resources, and such activities may violate AWS terms of service.

8-9. Yes, you can use EC2 instances for short periods and pay only for the time used. There is no formal cancellation process - you simply stop or terminate the instance when you're done. Be aware that some pricing options like Reserved Instances involve longer commitments.

10. EC2 pricing is based on factors including instance type, region, operating system, and pricing model (On-Demand, Reserved, or Spot). For a detailed breakdown, you would need to consult the EC2 pricing page on the AWS website or your account's billing dashboard.

Remember to always review AWS documentation and terms of service for the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding usage and pricing.
