NEGATIVE SOURCE RECORD. Fetched 2026-10-04. The AWS EC2 On-Demand Pricing page contains a Data Transfer section, but the actual per-GB egress rates are rendered client-side via JavaScript and were NOT present in the static HTML extract. The page structure confirms that AWS uses tiered pricing based on aggregate monthly Data Transfer Out to the Internet across all AWS services, with 100 GB/month free (except China and GovCloud), and that EU customers may request reduced rates under the European Data Act. The page also confirms that data transfer within the same AWS Region is priced separately (and is typically free or near-free). However, the specific per-GB rates by tier and region could not be extracted. This is a known limitation: AWS egress pricing is JS-rendered and requires either the AWS Price List API, the AWS Pricing Calculator, or a browser session to access. Prior agents have noted this barrier. The AWS Price List API (pricing.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/offers/v1.0/aws/AmazonEC2/current/us-east-1/index.json) may contain egress rates but the 481MB file was not searched for egress line items in this session.
