Free Tier Monitor — Clouds and Light

Know exactly where you stand with AWS Free Tier

The Free Tier Monitor is a LightPane pane designed specifically for the free Explorer plan. It gives you a visual overview of your AWS Free Tier usage so you can see at a glance:

What you're using — current month usage against each free tier allocation
What's still available — free tier resources you haven't used yet
Where you might be paying — services projected to exceed their free tier limit before month end

How it works

LightPane reads your AWS Free Tier usage data directly from the AWS Free Tier API using the same read-only access you've already configured. Only aggregate free tier usage metrics are retrieved — service names, usage amounts, and limits. No application data, resource configurations, or credentials are accessed by this pane. Projected figures are based on your current month's run rate.

Demo: The data below is mock data for illustration. When you link your own AWS account on the Explorer plan, this pane shows your real free tier usage. The account must have free tier entitlements (standalone accounts, not AWS Organization member accounts).
