Can you rent out your instance to someone else, or at least use it to mine some CPU-bound crypto? That way you'd be at least making some/most of the money back.

You can try your luck on the reservation marketplace, but depending on your region, instance size, reservation duration, reservation age, you may not end up being able to get out.
