I just recently discovered AWS new service lightsail. Apparently you're charged by the month which is good, unlike EC2 that is billed by the minute.

However, there seems to be some extra costs, but i'm not able to find what it could be, should i stop my AWS lightsail instances when i'm not using them ?

Make sure that every static IP Adress is connected to an lightsail instance. This happened to me.

As this is actually a hypothetical, yes there are a number of additional costs you can end up paying:

  • Exceeding your Network allowance will result in an additional charge.
  • Exceeding 3 million DNS queries per month.
  • Creating a Lightsail Snapshot
  • Lightsail Load Balancers.

For a more comprehensive list of potential additional costs, you can take a look at the Billing and account management section of the Lightsail FAQ.
