I had the exact same thing happen to me last Friday. My ISP metered 300GB, AWS measured 6,000GB. A factor of 20. I don't think this is reasonable.

That could be the same root cause. You download data via range request but with no upper bound and AWS is billing you for very much more than you downloaded in reality.
