How to find out what exactly is causing the cost for my RDS instance
The cheapest RDS DB instance I can find is $91 per month. But every post I see seems to suggest that is very high, how can I find the cheapest?

Hello,
I am running a db.t3.micro rds for my discord bot, and the average monthly costs are $20. It seems a bit much, as there is max maybe a couple of interactions per hour with the bot and, therefore, the rds instance.
Is there a good way to check what exactly is causing the cost?
I also see that the db.Transactions.xact_commit.avg value is constantly on 2.7~ even when there are no interactions with the bot for multiple hours.
I created a new DB, and set up for Standard, tried Aurora MySQL, and MySQL, etc. Somehow Aurora is cheaper than reg. MySQL.
When I do the drop down option for Instance size, t3.medium is the lowest. I've tried playing around with different settings and I'm very confused. Does anyone know a very cheap set up. I'm doing a project to become more familiar with RDS, etc.
Thank you
