In one line

Runtime rents vCPU and memory by the hour; Gateway, Memory and each built-in tool meter separately.

What gets missed

Runtime charges memory for the whole session but vCPU only while the CPU is busy, so I/O wait is free. Gateway adds a monthly fee per indexed tool, and AgentCore observability lands on your CloudWatch bill instead.

Find it on your bill

Filter Cost Explorer or your Cost and Usage Report by these usage types. A usage type with no region prefix means us-east-1.

  • Gateway:Consumption-based:API-Invocations
  • BrowserTool:Consumption-based:vCPU

Bills the same way

These services turn exactly the same meters, so what you learn here transfers.
