Sorry, I might have been not very clear, but AWS billing alert for $300 have been triggered only when it have reached $1,484 in charges.

If that alert triggered earlier (and $300 would have been triggered in an hour), my all accumulated charges would be only $400 not $4500.

So the hard learning here is that CloudFront charges takes time to appear on your bill, up to 24 hours.

24 hours delay in 2022 is egregious.
