1 day ago - For services such as S3 and data transfer OUT from EC2, pricing is tiered, meaning the more you use, the less you pay per GB. In addition, data transfer IN is always free of charge. As a result, as your AWS usage needs increase, you benefit from the economies of scale that allow you to increase adoption and keep costs under control.

At TechTarget's Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), we conduct an annual study that investigates technology spending intentions for the coming year. For 2023, the division is already forming. Some organizations are becoming hypersensitive to cost, while others are looking to adapt and optimize to maximize the potential of their budgets.

Don't think I've ever seen a price increase of existing services from AWS. Maybe we won't get a decrease with next new instance generation though lol.

March 24, 2023 -
Has anyone seen an increase in AWS pricing for the same usage since 2019? If so, what was the percentage increase in your case?
I've heard that AWS pricing has increased by 23%, but I'm not sure if this is true. I've done some research, but the sources I've found don't seem reliable.
Has anyone here seen or experienced an increase in AWS pricing since 2019? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences!
Is this claim even true?
"Over the past year, there has been a 23.0% increase in average prices of on-demand compute instances at AWS. Liftr Insights data show that not only did AWS increase their average prices in 2020, 2021, and 2022, but the increases have been higher each year since 2019."

To my knowledge there has never been a price increase. Sometimes new skus (e.g. new ec2 instance types) may be more expensive than older instance types but that is mostly because they are faster or more capable and the price is reflective of the increased performance. However, I wouldn't call this a price increase and these are new items. tldr; I have never seen any AWS service increase it's price for an existing sku. So unless you started using something new or you changed your usage, you should not expect to see your bill increase.

I have not seen a price increase, but have seen the price decrease several times over the years. Per this article, there have been 107 price decreases between 2006 and when the article was written: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws-cost-management/amazon-ec2-15th-years-of-optimizing-and-saving-your-it-costs/

r/aws on Reddit: Unexpected pricing jump on May 1st, 2024
May 4, 2024 -
Hi folks,
I've observed an unexpected, unwelcome jump in pricing on May 1st exactly.
In Cost Explorer, I immediately saw this was related to EC2, narrowed that to "ec2-instances" rather than "ec2-other," and then narrowed it down to "BoxUsage:t2.small" by using "Group By: Usage Type."
Reviewing AWS pricing, I can't find anything that should fall under "BoxUsage: t2.small" except for the number of t2.small instances in operation. Data transfer costs are a separate usage type. EBS volumes are a separate usage type. EBS, etc. falls under "ec2-other".
Of course, I could have added more T2 instances close to that date. So I checked my CloudTrail event log for definitive evidence. But it shows zero new instances of any kind between April 29th and May 11th. That seems pretty definite.
Was there a T2 price increase on May 1st? Any way to tell? I can't find straightforward historical data. The main increase I'm aware of recently is the $2 billing per IP4 address, but that came in on February 1st.
Does "BoxUsage: t2.small" have any variable component other than the number of T2 instance-hours?
Thanks!

Hello there, I wasn't able to locate a pricing change to our T2 instances in May. I suggest reaching out to our Billing Support team directly for assistance understanding these charges. You can create a case from our Support Center via this link: http://go.aws/support-center . - Rick N.
