Hi Tim,

It's a fair question.  These graphs only show frontend instances.
 Precommitted Instance Hours don't actually operate differently, they are
only billed differently, so we are not planning to show them on this graph
but rather on your bill.  All of that being said, this graph should be more
useful and we'll see what we can do to improve it.

Thanks for the question,

Greg
