In one line

Managed instances bill per second with a one-minute minimum, or at a flat monthly rate per instance.

What gets missed

The instance rate covers compute only: EBS volumes, snapshots, dedicated-instance Region fees and Windows RDS user CALs are all yours. The monthly option carries built-in discounts, so Savings Plans do not apply.

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.

Bills the same way

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