Does data transfer between lightsail and S3 cost any? [Same Region]

I've been wondering if data transfer between lightsail and S3 is free.

For example, data transfer OUT from S3 to my lightsail instance, on the SAME region let's say ap-northeast-1

Thanks in advance :)

According to the Lightsail FAQ: What does data transfer cost?:

Your plan includes a free data transfer allowance. Both data transfer in and data transfer out of your instance count toward your data transfer allowance.

If you exceed your data transfer allowance, you will only get charged for data transfer OUT from a Lightsail instance to the Internet or to AWS resources using the public IP address of the instance.

It appears that accesses out to AWS Services over the public IP Address (like S3) will count towards your data transfer allowance, and once this has been consumed, you will be charged data transfer fees.
