So basically at their peak, they had ~174TB S3 and ~47TB S3 RRS. That month cost them ~$16.2k, whereas after April 1 they could have put everything in S3 for ~$6.7k. That's a big difference, but they were still getting taken to the cleaners over some other services like RDS.
RRS: 2+3+6+8+9+18+19+22+27+34+42+48+7=~245 TB/months=~
Normal: 7+9+13+19+24+46+56+65+76+95+123+153+174+25=~885 TB/months
Difference:
$0.085-$0.0300=$0.055
$0.068-$0.0240=$0.044
End:
0.055 * 885 * 1024=$49,843 0.044 * 245 * 1024=$11,039 $49,843+$11,039=~$60k saved which is 20% of what they were short, if they had started with April 1st's pricing.
If you can reduce the AWS $400k by 40% due to the reduced pricing for EC2, you'd still fall short.
Are there any ready-to-deploy solutions for this?

From that, it looks like their loss over 26 months was ~$300,000. Their total AWS costs was less than $400,000 over the same period.
Downloading 1 GB = 4x the cost of the S3 storage at the reduced prices. If everything is viewed once [doubtful], that is 4x the price of the S3 storage. Given that ti would be impossible to reduce the total cost by even 50%, let alone the 75% they'd need to break approximately even.
I didn't see S3 broken out specifically anywhere which is why I'm just making an educated guess. :/
