Amazon S3 storage usage is calculated in binary gigabytes (GB), where 1 GB is 2^30 bytes. This unit of measurement is also known as a gibibyte (GiB), defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Similarly, 1 TB is 2^40 bytes, i.e. 1024 GBs.
I guess they could just change that overnight in the future. Still, a lot better than charging for Storage Units or similarly arbitrary unit.
