AWS EC2 Free Tier

Question

Here is a preoccupation I have on my EC2 Dashboard under the EC2 Free tier option that I want to understand. AWS is already telling me that I have 4EC2 free Tier offers in use that are  under the offer usage (monthly ) section:
End of month forecast : 2 offers forecasted to exceed free tier limit.
Exceeds free tier : 2 offers exceeded and is now pay-as-you-go pricing.
While telling me that i reached 100% linux EC2 instances and 100% storage space on EBS. Does it now means that for this two services, the pay-as-you-go-pricing will apply for me ? meanwhile I know that EC2 instances of t2.micro are free(under 30GB root volume). So what does it really says under this offer usage (monthly) section

Accepted Answer

Yes, there's a good chance you're being charged pay-as-you-go for two of your EC2 services. It seems you're currently utilizing four free tier offers related to EC2. While t2.micro instances are free tier eligible with a 30GB root volume limit, it's possible you have:
- More than the allowed number of t2.micro instances running.
- t2.micro instances exceeding the 30GB root volume limit.

**"Offer Usage (Monthly)" Section:**
This section likely shows details about your individual free tier offers for EC2 instances and EBS storage.

### Recommendations:

- Check for any idle or underutilized instances exceeding the free tier limits. *Consider stopping or terminating them to avoid unnecessary charges*.
- Explore ways to reduce storage usage in case you haven't use the 12 free months.
- Remember to explore your billing dashboard for more insight.
