I'm hosting several websites on AWS and got the charge of On Demand Linux t2.micro Instance Hour for 690hrs. I've totally no idea about when I asked for this on demand instance. Is it like my free tier instance has used up so it automatically cost the on demand instance?
Also another question is how can I know which website/ec2 instance actually cost me the on demand instance hour. I strongly believe that none of my website has large traffic.
With On-Demand Instances, you pay for compute capacity by the second with no long-term commitments. You have full control over its lifecycle—you decide when to launch, stop, hibernate, start, reboot, or terminate it. There is no long-term commitment required when you purchase On-Demand Instances.
EC2 usage is billed in one-second increments, with a minimum of 60 seconds. Similarly, provisioned storage for Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes will be billed per-second increments, with a 60-second minimum.
T2 instances are Amazon EC2 instance types designed to dramatically reduce costs for applications that benefit from the ability to burst to full core performance whenever required. T2 instances are available to use in the AWS Free Tier, which includes 750 hours of Linux and Windows t2.

Also, check the following - have you launched one more t2.micro instance? You have possibility to use free t2.micro instance for 750 hours per month, it means that you may have only one non-stop working instance per month.
Please, check, maybe you have set up autoscaling group that launched one more instance for you and forgot to disable it?
