Why is my aws ebs volume figure so high reaching above free tier.

Ive been playing around with aws elastic beanstalk for a month now. Hardly any usage. Just testing small things every other day. When i see my billing i see that ebs volume figure going above free tier. I'm not sure what i could have done to prevent it since i'm not using it much. Also, its starting to worry me about the future where i get some user usage. I feel like this figure will skyrocket and incur a lot of unexpected charges. I know this could be an open ended question but are there tips and tricks to keep myself from being overcharged on ebs? Thanks

Some tips:

  1. Make sure that at the end of day you not only terminate instances, but also delete all unneeded Volumes and Snapshots
  2. Create a Billing Alarm to Notify You if Your Usage Exceeds the Free Tier
  3. Take look at your Billing & Cost Management Dashboard, it may give you some more insight
