Automate deletion of unused AWS Workspaces

Recently, we received way more than expected AWS bill; after using a cost explorer, we found that all this while we were billed for inactive Workspaces also. Practically, it is a tiresome job to keep a check on all the workspaces and terminate them before the billing period ends.
Is there a way where I can automate the filtering and deleting of unused Workspaces?

Automate deletion of unused EBS Volumes

Recently, my AWS account was heavily billed because I didn't pay attention to my unused EBS Volume.
We have been trying to pay attention the the unused EBS Volume and delete them, but is there a way to automate it?
Because it is practically difficult to implement the whole procedure manually periodically.
Even if I get notified monthly, it would be of great help.
Any input shall be appreciated.

How to proactively monitor daily lambda cost?

There was a bug in our code which lead to a large number of invocations in lambdas which costed us the next 6 months of budget. We are talking to the AWS Support to check if they can refund the same. However, how do you guys proactively monitor costs?
