In one line

Cluster node-hours and managed storage carry the base cost. Spectrum queries against S3 meter on bytes scanned.

What gets missed

Spectrum rounds each query up to the next megabyte and applies a 10 MB floor per query, so many tiny scans add up. Concurrency Scaling earns one credit hour per 24 hours of cluster uptime, then bills per second.
