How does flexible RI usage work with regard to cost? e.g., If we downsize within the same instance family, is there a price reduction in the monthly AWS bill?

What does 'Instance Size Flexibility' mean and how does it work?

If you downsize instances, the smaller contract sizes will stack to cover the machine as long as there are less Linux hours being used than are reserved. This will be clear from the invoice and you can see this reflected on our billing savings page.

AWS provides additional information on Instance Size Flexibility for EC2 Reserved Instances & certain RDS instances as well as information on the instance sizes and their normalization factor.
