Using the utilization report
Savings Plans utilization shows you the percentage of your Savings Plans commitment that you're using across your On-Demand usage. You can use your Savings Plans utilization report to visually understand how your Savings Plans apply to your usage over the configured time period. Along with a visualized graph, the report shows high-level metrics based on your selected Savings Plan, filters, and lookback periods. Utilization is calculated based on how your Savings Plans applied to your usage over the lookback period.
For example, if you have a $10/ hour commitment, and your usage billed with Savings Plans rates totals to $9.80 for the hour, your utilization for that hour is 98 percent.
