AWS - Not able to monitor free tier usage


I'm new to AWS and wanted to give it a shot with the free tier offer. I'd like to monitor my usage, especially so I'm aware how many free hours I've left so I don't exceed them. The documentation (and some Google results) say I can find a table called Top Free Tier Service by Usage - but I can't. The Billing & Cost Management Dashboard, where it's supposed to be, does not show this table.

My account is eligible for the free usage tier - I paid attention to it while registering and the dashboard also says that. I've created (and already terminated) the following three instances:

  • 2 EC2 t2.micro
  • 1 Elastic Beanstalk Web Server

They all ran for approx. 10 minutes each.

Does anybody know the reason? Is it just that I have to wait and the data is not in real time or did I screw up something?

I've already done research on my own and was not able to find a solution.


Solution

  • As John suggested, waiting 1 - 2 days solved the issue.
