Why am i getting EC2 Charge during my free teir?

Question

I am still in the free teir period but for some reason i am incuring some charges. Can someone please explain what might be the problem. I currently have just one instance running

Answer

Hi, most likely due to this:

When using AWS Free Tier, you might incur charges due to the following reasons:

* **You exceeded the ec2 monthly [free tier usage ](https://aws.amazon.com/free/?all-free-tier.sort-by=item.additionalFields.SortRank&all-free-tier.sort-order=asc&awsf.Free%20Tier%20Types=*all&awsf.Free%20Tier%20Categories=*all) limits of one or more services.**
* You're using an AWS service, such as Amazon Aurora, that doesn't offer free tier benefits.
* Your free tier period expired.

Check below to find out what exceeded and how to prevent it:
