I think it's more complicated than that. Because Amazon is claiming that if you let them handle it, you keep your instance data. That's not a stop-start (at least what we ordinary users can do).
It's more like a system restart with a little downtime managed by them.
You can try a stop-start yourself, but it's not guaranteed to help. And a restart yourself doesn't do anything.
