Does the billing dashboard not cover your needs? With their billing query UI you can slice your billing data by region, service, etc.

  The billing API tells you about resources that have charged you, whereas I think the parent comment is talking about resources that are either “active” in some sense where they will charge you at some point in the future for the usage you’re accruing (but where this usage isn’t metered in a way visible to the billing API until it “commits” somehow); or, worse, resources which are “exposed” in some sense where they could charge you if they received a request, but happen to not have received any yet. (These resources are very easy to lose track of.) Another way to think of this question is “what is my current exploitable attack surface, against the ‘attack’ of causing AWS to charge me lots of money?”

    They do only show what you have been charged, but to my knowledge this is update very regularly. It seems at least next day.

  and by Tag, which is the most useful way to organize your resources for internal billing/analysis. Don't see any missing functionality but our use case may not be complex enough.

  Yes that's retrospective, I'd like to see everything in use now that costs money, with links to direct manage those resources.
