Great part of my bill comes also from the amount of HTTP requests to my buckets and having to download and analise the shitty CSV from AWS billing reports is a real pain. Not saying storage is useless, but that it would be nice to have a tool that covers all these parts of what the billing is about without the monthly hassle.

Putting https://netlify.com over S3 works well for me. With their URL rewriting feature it basically works like CloudFront but with included bandwidth and no per-request billing.

s3cmd and s4cmd already have a "du" command. Does this do something extra?

As you correctly noted, s3cmd/s4cmd have a du command. For my particular use case (paring down s3 storage costs), I needed to traverse my s3 buckets as specified depths (-d argument, built into above repo).

On the outside, it might seem like a small difference. But when you're deep in the use case, it's a great option to have.
