Understanding your AWS billing and usage reports for Amazon S3 - Amazon Simple Storage Service

Understanding your AWS billing and usage reports for Amazon S3

When you use Amazon S3, we include related codes in your AWS billing and usage reports. Reviewing these codes helps you understand your Amazon S3 costs and usage patterns. Tracking and managing your expenses is essential for optimizing your costs. For more information, see Amazon S3 pricing.

Amazon S3 billing and usage reports use codes and abbreviations. For usage types in the table that follows, replace region, region1, and region2 with abbreviations from AWS Region billing codes in the AWS Regions and Availability Zones User Guide.

Note

For the US East (N. Virginia) Region, the region prefix is omitted from usage type codes. For example, it will show TimedStorage-ByteHrs instead of USE1-TimedStorage-ByteHrs.

For S3 Multi-Region Access Points usage types in the table that follows, replace regiongroup1 and regiongroup2 with abbreviations from this list:

  • AP: Asia Pacific

  • AU: Australia

  • EU: Europe

  • IN: India

  • NA: North America

  • SA: South America

Region groups are geographical groupings of several AWS Regions. For more information, see Regions and Availability Zones. For information about pricing by AWS Region, see Amazon S3 Pricing.

The first column in the following table lists usage types that appear in your billing and usage reports. The typical unit of measurement for data is gigabytes (GB). However, depending on the service and the report, terabytes (TB) might appear instead.
