I've setup one EC2 instance on aws.
And after 7 days, I've got already this message:
has exceeded 85% of the usage limit for one or more AWS Free Tier-eligible services for the month of April.
How could it be, that in 7 days, which have 168 hours, that aws comes up and says:
644.559167 Hrs from 750 hours used?
do I understand this wrong, how they calculate the hours?
Based on the comments.
The importing thing about EC2 Free tier limit of 750 hours is that it is cumulative. So it does not apply per t2.micro instance, but it applies to all t2.micro instances in total.
This means that you can run within the free tier usage, e.g.:
1 x t2.micro instance for 750 hours per month, or
2 x t2.micro instances concurrently for 375 hours per month, or
4 x t2.micro instances for 187.5 hours per month.
In all the above cases, the total usage of t2.micro adds up to 750 hours per month. If you exceed it, you pay normal rate for the excess time.

If I make four AWS EC2 instances in different regions and keep their combined usage to under 750 hours, do I have to pay for them under the AWS Free Tier?
Will I remain in the Free Tier of AWS if I do not use the instances more than 750 hours in total?
It is not 750 free hours per region. It is aggregated across all regions.
See the Regions information at the Free Tier FAQ:
Q: Can I use the AWS Free Tier in any region?
A: The AWS Free Tier applies to participating services across our global regions. Your free usage under the AWS Free Tier is calculated each month across all regions and automatically applied to your bill. For example, you will receive 750 Amazon EC2 Linux Micro Instance hours for free across all of the regions you use, not 750 hours per region.

I have got 75 dollars and 1 years of free tier uses in amazon awseducate. it is called amazon aws student starter pack. I created only one ec2 instance and one rds in free tier. But Amazon is charging from the 75 dollars every day. Even I cannot issue a support ticket. Because student account can't create a support ticket.

Having the free tier doesn't mean everything is free - there are certain products, and certain levels of products that are free - if you use products or services outside the designated free options, you will need to pay - sometimes a lot.
For example, you can use 1 free ec2 instance of the t2 type free for a year (I believe its only the t2-small).
If you spin up a d2.8xlarge instead, and leave it running all year you will have a bill of almost $50K - so pay attention to what is free and what you are using; check your bill often, and contact aws support on their support forums or at the /r/aws forum on reddit.
The answer is the aws educate doesnt support free tier.Most student get confused about support ticket because aws support ticket is blocked from account console. But there is another ink for awseducate support. I dont know why they make two support service different here is the link https://aws.amazon.com/education/awseducate/contact-us/

In AWS free tier account providing 30GB storage to create an instance, if creating another instance with the same account is it chargeable?
There is no such thing as a free AWS account. However, there is a free usage tier that provides a certain amount of select services at no charge, typically for the first 12 months of the account.
The free usage tier does include 30GB of EBS storage. This means that the first 30GB of EBS storage for an entire month is free every month. This could be used as 60GB for half a month, 120GB for a quarter of a month or 30GB for the whole month. This logic applies to all services -- AWS services are typically calculated on an hourly basis, so the hours can be used in parallel if desired.
In fact, a recent change means that EBS is now charged per-second, so if you delete the volumes when they are not necessary, you will even gain the benefit of part-hours.
Mind you, some of the costs are quite low even if you exceed the free usage tier. In US regions, the cost is $0.10/GB/month, so an extra 30GB volume for the month would cost $3.00.

I am using Amazons Elastic Beanstalk to host a Tomcat server. I am using the t1.micro free tier. However, for this month, my bill is for over the free 750 hours.
As you can see, there is an additional 451 hours billed.
I have read that Amazon will bill an extra hour for restarting the server. There is no way I have restarted the server 451 times this month. I have deployed a new app probably around 10 times.
Does anyone know why Amazon are charging these 451 hours?
Thanks
UPDATE
I have two applications running:
This Billing contains All Ec2 instance. Which includes all the running ec2 instance not only ec2 instance launched using elastic beanstalk.
Can you check have you launch any other instance other than elasticbeanstalk..?
750 hours is not per instance, it is total. If you run 10 servers for 750 hours in a month, you get 9*750 hours of billed, and 1*750 paid for.

I'm hosting several websites on AWS and got the charge of On Demand Linux t2.micro Instance Hour for 690hrs. I've totally no idea about when I asked for this on demand instance. Is it like my free tier instance has used up so it automatically cost the on demand instance?
Also another question is how can I know which website/ec2 instance actually cost me the on demand instance hour. I strongly believe that none of my website has large traffic.
Complete information about your billing in details you may receive on a page https://console.aws.amazon.com/billing/home
Also, check the following - have you launched one more t2.micro instance? You have possibility to use free t2.micro instance for 750 hours per month, it means that you may have only one non-stop working instance per month.
Please, check, maybe you have set up autoscaling group that launched one more instance for you and forgot to disable it?
