How can I tell the current price I'm paying for a Spot instance with EC2?

I'm using elastic beanstalk and in my env.yaml, I have:

  aws:ec2:instances:
    InstanceTypes: g4dn.xlarge,c5.4xlarge,r5.2xlarge,r5a.xlarge
    EnableSpot: true
    SpotMaxPrice: "0.15"
    SpotFleetOnDemandBase: "0"
    SpotFleetOnDemandAboveBasePercentage: "0"

When I go to my instance, I see under Lifecycle, that some are spot. But how do I know how much I'm paying for it?

The pricing for spot instances is dynamic and billing takes place on an hourly basis. As long as the spot instance price is below the max bid price specified by you, the instances will remain operational and billing will continue.
