In one line
The CLI is free. Whatever service answers the call does the billing.
This service turns no meters of its own. Read the trap below for what it makes you pay for elsewhere.
What gets missed
Nothing meters at the CLI layer. Cost tracks the command: an s3 sync pulls S3 request and transfer charges, a logs tail pulls CloudWatch Logs charges, and a polling loop in CI can do both all day.
Bills the same way
These services turn exactly the same meters, so what you learn here transfers.
