Unexpected Charges for Terminated EC2 Instance

0

Hello,

I need some help, please. Recently, I terminated an EC2 instance, and it no longer appears in my dashboard (as shown in the attached screenshot, which shows 0 instances, volumes, etc.).

However, I am still receiving charges in the Cost Explorer under "EC2-OTHER," specifically for the EBS:VolumeUsage.gp3 usage type.

Could someone help me understand why these charges are still occurring and how I can stop them? EC2 dashboard Cost explorer usage type Volumes snapshot

Thank you!

Hello.

Have you checked to see if there are any remaining EBS volumes or snapshots in another region?
If it is an EBS volume, you can check which region it remains in by opening the global view from the URL below.
In the case of snapshots, you cannot view them from the global view, so you need to check each region by changing them.

When was the last time you deleted EC2 or EBS?
If the deletion occurred during August, it would not be strange for it to be listed on the August bill.
If you cannot find any resources related to EBS after searching further, I recommend that you open a case with AWS Support under "Account and billing".
Inquiries under "Account and billing" can be made free of charge.

Hello @Riku_Kobayashi @Parthasardi and Thanks for your answer,

@Riku_Kobayashi based on Cost explorer interfaces the charges are in US East (N. Virginia), us-east-1 and the screenshots in my question is for us-east-1. I've checked also your link and i found no resources enabled. link search charge Region

@Parthasardi there is no volumes or snapshots under Elastic Block Store. Volumes snapshots

Remember that while the EC2 instance has been terminated, the associated Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes weren't automatically deleted. By default, when you terminate an EC2 instance, its EBS volumes may continue to exist unless you specifically check the option to delete them upon termination.

Please check the following:

Check for Remaining EBS Volumes: Head over to the EC2 Dashboard and look under Volumes. If there are any remaining volumes, they could still be generating charges. You can delete them manually if they’re no longer needed.

EBS Snapshots: Similarly, if you’ve created any snapshots of the instance, those will also incur charges. You can review your snapshots under the Snapshots section in the EC2 Dashboard and delete any that are no longer necessary.

Elastic IPs: If you were using an Elastic IP with the instance, make sure it was released. Otherwise, AWS continues to charge for unused but allocated Elastic IPs.

You can also use AWS Cost Explorer to break down the charges further and confirm that they are indeed from EBS volumes or other resources linked to the terminated instance.
