VPC billing started all of a sudden

Question

Can anyone explain what would have made the VPC costs shoot up from 0 over the past 5 years to $13.00 a month?

Thanks,

Stuart

There is a new change for [public IPv4 addresses](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-public-ipv4-address-charge-public-ip-insights/) starting Feb 1, 2024, which could be the reason. I would suggest to use Cost Explorer to further confirm what is incurring the charge.

Answer

As of February 1, 2024, AWS has implemented a pricing change for Public IPv4 addresses. There will now be a charge of $0.005 per IP per hour, regardless of whether the IP is attached to a service. You can find more details about the pricing change [here](https://aws.amazon.com/vpc/pricing/).
