I opened a service ticket. My ec2 instances have somehow been running for over 950 hours in one month. I can go back and see my instances run for 744 hours (what i'd expect in a month) in previous months. Amazon invented more hours than actually exist in a month for billing purposes. Bezos is a genius! I should have thought of that!

Came across this long back: 2 + 2 = 5 for very large values of 2.

Maybe Bezos read this recently and decided to use large values of 24 to compute number of hours in a month.

EC2 instances are now billed at per-second granularity, with a minimum charge of 60 seconds.
