Sharp cost estimation spike (400$ estimate from 4$)
I do wonder about the pricing. Does it really sound right to have $7 worth of costs for running a 1-2GB RAM for the same amount of days? a1.medium costs around 0.02/hr for a 2GB system which would equate to 3.36. It does seem weird considering the costs I had for last month were about $13 in total and we haven't scaled at all in that time. The estimated is definitely a bug but has that had an impact on pricing, too? Odd.

But back to the point: The prices do seem REALLY messed up at the moment. I've had relatively low pricing up until today where it seems to just spike like crazy. I wonder if there's a billing chart where I can see billing-based usage over time. That would be interesting.

Yeah, this isn't the first thread today regarding uptick in pricing.
My guess is they may have messed up on the window that calculates the estimated bill and that it's using a much tighter window now.
When I deploy, it goes crazy up, but once things settle it seems to be OK.
Usage over the past 5 minutes X an entire month? Chaos.
