Selected Answer: A
From AWS Documentation*: "You can view your costs and usage using the Cost Explorer user interface free of charge. You can also access your data programmatically using the Cost Explorer API. Each paginated API request incurs a charge of $0.01. You can't disable Cost Explorer after you enable it." * Source: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cost-management/latest/userguide/ce-what-is.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/v3/latest/clients/client-cost-explorer/interfaces/costexplorerpaginationconfiguration.html
