I do not recall the details as it did not affect me, but there was a thread on this and many comments. Also, as I recall the developer made a contribution that significantly reduced the monthly amount due.
I am sure others will respond and fill in the gaps.

May possibly also cover two months so that you are always paying one month ahead of the current billing cycle. The next bill you receive should be more in line with what to expect over time.

I don't think the huge increase the Developer kicked in $2M, is related to the Amenity Fee. I believe that was a maintenance (Bond) issue.
As for the Amenity Fee, I seem to remember my 1st bill being ridiculously high and if I recall correctly, it was for exactly the reason stated above. Pro-rated and it covered most of 2 months.
