In one line
One free copy of management events per Region. Data events, extra trails and Lake are where the bill comes from.
What gets missed
A second trail logging the same management events in a Region is charged in full. Data events bill per event, CloudTrail Lake bills per GB ingested and retained, and S3 charges for the log files.
