Some...

"Your Amazon EC2 usage is calculated by either the hour or the second based on the size of the instance, operating system, and the AWS Region where the instances are launched" - https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/ec2-instance-hour-billin...

MacOS instances appear to be the sole remaining exception since RHEL got on board.

		Thanks Corey. Always nice to get the TL;DR from an authority on the subject.

With a one-minute minimum, unfortunately.

		Just don't call them before the hour and start a different one again.Because otherwise within the hour, you will be billed for hundreds of hours...If they are of the type billed by the hour....
