For all this progress the billing on AWS is so damn confusing to figure out if some machine is left on unused that I won’t use AWS again. GCE and Azure miles ahead here.

It takes all of 3 clicks to figure this out using cost explorer

Why did AWS support send me a 5329 word message on how to check every region and service then?

Cost Explorer takes [up to] 24 hours to set up, so it's not a good answer to support questions about billing.

Maybe spend a few more minutes clicking through the apps billing section before firing off a support request next time :)

AWS is incredibly complex. Are you complaining that their billing can get complex?
