Is AWS chewing your wallet? maws shows what’s running in your account, what each resource costs per hour, and your bill so far this month, all in one terminal screen. [maws — magmalake](https://mlake.dev/s/maws/) . Note that the cli just relays what AWS returns, there is some delay in the spending reports.
