You may notice an unusually high cost for yesterday in the Ocean dashboard. This happens because cost data is finalized the day after it’s collected. Understanding how Ocean processes cost information helps you interpret these temporary spikes accurately.
How Ocean finalizes cost data
Ocean reviews and finalizes cost data one day after usage occurs. For example, if today is August 20, Ocean finalizes the cost analysis for August 19 on August 21. Until that finalization occurs, the dashboard displays estimated values that may be higher than expected.

Why costs appear high before finalization
Before Ocean compares your usage against reserved instances or savings plans, it first uses on‑demand pricing. This can make the estimated cost for yesterday appear higher than other days.
After the final review, Ocean evaluates the cost using your reserved instances and savings plans, which typically lowers the final cost.

What to expect
If you review yesterday’s cost again a few days later, you should see a lower and more accurate value that is consistent with the surrounding days.
