we're storing 120M records a day in influx 1.8, offloading cold data to S3, all on a single m5.xlarge instance that runs other backend services on the side. Less than 400 bucks per month overall aws cost, with lots of other VMs in there. We could use RDS too, but why change it to something more expensive if it already works...

how are you dealing with failover?
how are you dealing with interactive reporting?
how large are your records?
is the s3 data in cold storage? how much is stored in S3 right now? is it warm-enough to query via (e.g.) athena?
