In one line

Closed to new customers since November 2025; existing runtime environments still bill per vCPU-hour.

What gets missed

The runtime meter is per AWS CPU core per hour on a provisioned environment, so an idle developer environment costs what a busy one does. Getting mainframe data across is priced separately per GB and it stings.

Bills the same way

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