Amazon AWS reserve instance expire

I am very new don’t have any experience in amazon AWS Linux. I have 3 instance in Amazon AWS, which reservation period expire & now I am paying per hour’s rate basic. I saw there is an options that we can by new reserve instance.

But all the configuration are in running instance & all are production server. I have few queries? Please let me known. Thanks all in advance for valuable suggestion.

Is there any way that I can convert expire instance to reserve instance again? If no what are the others options to reduce monthly cost?

As soon as you purchase a reserved instance, as long as it is the same type and region and availability zone as an on-demand instance you already have, the reserved instance will automatically apply to the existing on-demand instance. You do not need to get a "new" instance. (This is similar to how your expired reserved instances turned into on-demand instances. The instances themselves did not change.)

From https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/:

When you purchase Reserved Instances, you select a configuration to match your On-Demand instances that have the highest utilization. The billing discount is automatically applied to any running instances that match that configuration. You can also purchase Reserved Instances to apply to On-Demand instances that you intend to purchase in the future. As long as the reservation and instance specifications match, the discount will be applied.
