Billing Information Tabs​

AWS Accounts​

In the AWS Accounts tab, you can check the usage fees for each AWS account in a list view.

Clicking on the AWS account ID will take you to the AWS Account Details screen. Additionally, clicking on the current usage fee will take you to the Usage Fee screen for the target AWS account.

Daily​

In the Daily tab, you can check usage cost transition for days and accumulated cost with a bar chart. It can be useful to compare usage costs while the regular term and the spikey access term.

In the daily graph, the regular usage cost (pay-as-you-go cost occurred daily) only is shown by default. To include Reserved Instance cost paid by all upfront or partial upfront, select “Prepayments included” from the toggle in the top right.

Details​

You can view a breakdown of your charges per service. You can also check more detailed statements such as the amount billed per instance for each service.

Service​

In the Service tab, you can check the usage cost for each AWS service with a bar-chart. The items of the AWS service that occupied less than 5% of all usage costs are aggregated to one item as Others.

Tag​

In the Tag tab, you can view the usage fee ratios based on the custom tags set as CmBillingGroup on various AWS resources, displayed as bar charts and lists. This is useful when you want to check the usage fee ratios for multiple services within a Members project or for each environment.

The tagged usage cost will be reflected cost information of tags after you tagged services. Note that the timing of reflection is the next day or later.

Data Transfer​

In the Data Transfer tab, you can check the usage cost rate for outbound traffic from AWS with a bar-chart. Generally, the outbound traffic cost is likely to occupy the 2nd large after instances like EC2 or so usage cost in the entire AWS usage cost. So we can use it as a hint of cost-saving tips.

Monthly​

In the monthly tab, you can check the monthly usage cost for the latest 12 months with a bar chart.

Switching the chart legend display​

You can switch the turning on/off display of the items in each graph by clicking on the item names in the legend (a list of labels). And, to double-click on the item name, you can switch to display the specific item.

Finalization of usage cost​

The cost and its detail displayed in the Member’s Portal are periodically aggregated from data delivered by AWS. The date and time our system calculated usage cost is updated at the bottom of each cost tab page. Note that the displayed usage cost is not always matched invoice cost because the data is calculated by delivered information when you open the Classmethod Members portal.

The usage cost on the invoice is calculated for months and billed after finalized usage cost. If the cost is not finalized, the Unfinalized Icon is shown. After the finalization of usage cost, the icon will be disappeared, and the cost will not fluctuate.
