Per second pricing

Per second billing - AWS

In 2017, AWS made some announcements on the possibility of per-second charges on EC2 Linux-built instances and EBS volumes. Today, per-second billing is still significant and has been employed in other services as well to a certain degree. However, there’s no formal comment on second-wise charges for Windows, RHEL, or SLES. You can catch numerous users in developer communities saying their AWS services are billed each second for Windows.

Some people believe that it might be a bug, and some speculate it might be a test by AWS. Nevertheless, AWS has not made any official notice that confirms any of the theories. Although, AWS has given an official statement that each partial instance that is consumed in an hour by a consumer will be invoiced per second for all Linux instances. Have in mind that per-second billing is regarded with a minimum 60-second limit.

This per-second billing relates to on-demand pricing plans for companies in supported regions with AWS instances zones.
