Why did my bill spike last week?
Your bill increased $847 (+34%) last week. Here's what happened:
- EC2 costs up 52% — A new c5.4xlarge instance was launched Tuesday and is still running
- RDS storage doubled — Your analytics database auto-scaled from 100GB to 200GB
💡 Quick fix: The EC2 instance shows <5% CPU usage. Consider stopping it to save ~$400/week.
