Free tier billing for DynamoDB missing transfers?

Question

[DynamoDB](https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/?did=ft_card) includes:
> 25 GB of storage and up to 200 million read/write requests per month with the AWS Free Tier

My monthly billing statement for S3 shows storage and transfers:
* Amazon Simple Storage Service Requests-Tier1
  * $0.00 per request - PUT, COPY, POST, or LIST requests under the monthly global free tier
* Amazon Simple Storage Service Requests-Tier2
  * $0.00 per request - GET and all other requests under the monthly global free tier
* Amazon Simple Storage Service TimedStorage-ByteHrs
  * $0.000 per GB - storage under the monthly global free tier

Which is exactly as expected.  But DynamoDB is missing the "monthly global free tier" section:
* Amazon DynamoDB PayPerRequestThroughput
  * $0.25 per million read request units (N. Virginia)
  * $1.25 per million write request units (N. Virginia)
* Amazon DynamoDB TimedStorage-ByteHrs
  * $0.00 per GB-Month of storage for first 25 free GB-Months

and based on this I would expect a monthly bill of $0.01 for my piddly 6,000 read/write requests (out of the 200 million free tier limit).  What needs to be done to get the billing page to show "$0.00 per request under the monthly global free tier" for DynamoDB?

Answer

The DynamoDB free tier provides for Provisioned Capacity but not for On Demand.

https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/pricing/provisioned/

"25 WCUs and 25 RCUs of provisioned capacity for tables using the DynamoDB Standard table class"
