Answer 1

Give this a try:-

1. Go to my Billing dashboard.

2. Under left pane -> Billing -> go to Bills.

3. Here you can find bills according to month with charges based on different services.

4. If you click on a specific service(drop down), you can find, under which region the service has been launched and its charges

Answer 2

Depending on the access level you have in the project, there are 2 options

Option 1 (Mentioned in the previous comments)

• Go to my Billing dashboard
• Under left pane -> Billing -> go to Bills.

This option work only if you have access to the billing information

Option 2 - Use the VPC Dashboard

• Search for VPC

  

• In the VPC Dashboard you can see "Resources by Region"

  

Notes: This will give you information about the selected region in the top right corner, however, each resource contains The see all regions dropdown that gives an indication of where that resource is used.

Often the Cost Explorer is one of the best tools to identify where the money is being spent without much delays -- if you check on your bill, it will take the entire cycle to find out.

On the top of your chart on CE, you can change the grouping and usually Usage Type makes it easier to understand the exact usage of that service.

Also, keep in mind if you don't see the expected service on AWS Console, double-check if you are looking at the correct region (top right of your screen).

Firstly, you can check aws bills to see for what you have been charted for - https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/view-aws-payments/; Also, aws has a tool called trusted advisor that will be able to help you to optimize your pricing. Lastly, there is a tool called cost explorer - https://aws.amazon.com/aws-cost-management/aws-cost-explorer/, but personally I haven't tried it yet.
