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?

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 wanting to host a simple blog on AWS via Docker containers. I've gone the route of creating an EC2 instance via this link https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-east-1#LaunchInstanceWizard:
I created an instance of type Amazon Linux AMI and it's a t2.micro.
How do I know if this is a low-cost way to host my blog? What are the fees? How do I know that I have 1 year free trial?
The reason I ask is because I looked at this on the docker site and then when clicking the Get Started with AWS link on that page, it brought me to a page that started talking about large costs...is this for larger servers that is not related to the free 1 year EC2 instance I'm trying to run for a simple blog?
I'm just looking for a cheap AWS instance to host my blog, maybe a few dollars a month with very small amount of traffic and want to make sure I'm doing this right in terms of creating and setting up my server since I do want to use docker to deploy my blog in a container.
I suggest you go with t2.nano instance which will cost you just $5/month + nominal data xfer cost. Later if you find the instance size not sufficient, you can upgrade the instance to t2.micro to t2.small to m3.medium etc., just by clicking few buttons.
Use this calculator: SIMPLE MONTHLY CALCULATOR to find the approximate cost.

I have terminated all my instances in AWS, but didn't receive any information that my service of the
m1.small
was shut down.
I was wondering if I will still be charged by the AWS?
You will be charged for the time that those instances were up.
You won't be charged any more for those instances if you have terminated them.
If you want to be absolutely certain and will not need the AWS services anymore, you can always close your AWS account.
Pricing is per instance-hour consumed for each instance, from the time an instance is launched until it is terminated or stopped. Each partial instance-hour consumed will be billed as a full hour.
Amazon Pricing Details
When it is terminated or stopped, there will be no charge.

I created my own intance and made AMI from it. Then, I deleted the old instance and created the new one with the AMI.
Here's the problem. I have been tracking my billing. It hasn't been eligible to Free Tier. This December, I spent almost $11 for EC2. I've used only EC2, I checked others services already.
Note that my first created instance is Micro instance with Ubuntu 13.
Do you have any ideas what does it come from?
Make sure you use a t1.micro instance otherwise you are not eligible for the free tier. Also make sure your EBS volume is < 30GB otherwise you will be charged.

What's a simple way for limiting runtime of an Amazon EC2 instance? I'm getting runaway instances now and then which don't shutdown for various reasons. These can cost a fortune. Is there some sort of commandline flag which says the equivalent of "shut this instance down after 5 hours"?
AFAIK the Auto-Scaling service doesn't have this ability directly.
EDIT: Although if you wanted you could create a group for auto-scaling, and set it to zero instances at a scheduled time - that way once that time is reached, all instances in the group would be shut down.
But if you have any kind of automation involved for starting and stopping these instances, you can use a cron job, Windows scheduled task, or add a delay in whatever script you're using to launch these instances to execute the ec2 instance shutdown command after a specified time period:
PROMPT> ec2-stop-instances i-10a64379
or equivalently construct an HTTP request of the form:
https://ec2.amazonaws.com/?Action=StopInstances&InstanceId.1=i-10a64379&AUTHPARAMS
Another option you have would be to create the task on the AMI itself, so that whenever the instance was started it would shut itself down after 5 hours - this might be cleaner than an outside computer being responsible for it.
