We don't charge usage for a stopped instance, or data transfer fees; however, your
root partition Amazon EBS volume remains and continues to persist your data, and you are
charged for Amazon EBS volume usage. Every time you start your instance, Amazon EC2
charges a one-minute minimum for instance usage, and thereafter charges per second for
instance usage.
You can't stop or hibernate instance store-backed instances. You can't use the Stop
action to hibernate Spot Instances, but you can specify that Amazon EC2 should hibernate
Spot Instances when they are interrupted. For more information, see Hibernating interrupted Spot Instances in the
Amazon EC2 User Guide.
When you stop or hibernate an instance, we shut it down. You can restart your instance
at any time. Before stopping or hibernating an instance, make sure it is in a state from
which it can be restarted. Stopping an instance does not preserve data stored in RAM,
but hibernating an instance does preserve data stored in RAM. If an instance cannot
hibernate successfully, a normal shutdown occurs.
Stopping and hibernating an instance is different to rebooting or terminating it. For
example, when you stop or hibernate an instance, the root device and any other devices
attached to the instance persist. When you terminate an instance, the root device and
any other devices attached during the instance launch are automatically deleted. For
more information about the differences between rebooting, stopping, hibernating, and
terminating instances, see Instance lifecycle
in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
When you stop an instance, we attempt to shut it down forcibly after a short while. If
your instance appears stuck in the stopping state after a period of time, there may be
an issue with the underlying host computer. For more information, see Troubleshoot
stopping your instance in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

You can use the Stop action to hibernate an instance if the instance is enabled for hibernation and it meets the hibernation prerequisites. For more information, see Hibernate your instance in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
