client = AcsClient("accesskey", "secretkey", "eu-central-1")

request = QueryInstanceBillRequest()
request.add_query_param('BillingCycle','2020-09')
request.set_accept_format('json')

response = client.do_action_with_exception(request)

Answer 2

In your console ,you could via billing management-spending summary---details to check. but I also recommend you to use the cost management function. you would analysis your current usage and get some report suggestions, even you would send the expense budget and alarm alert. it is very useful.
