Relinquish IP addresses: ticket unassigned for more than 34 hours

If you were automatically billed, given the circumstances, AWS may be willing to work with you to reverse the charge. I would suggest you reach out directly to AWS support for this answer. From AWS Support Center (https://support.console.aws.amazon.com/support/home), Create a case under Billing > Other Billing Questions > Urgent Business Impairing Question. Then fill out information about the request, and choose the Chat or Phone option, instead of Web, and you will be able to engage someone on this question almost immediately. Hope this helps!
