AWS does not delete the resources due to budget alerts. This has happened to me once where the browser cache was deleted and I got logged into us-east-2 instead of us-east-1. I did panic as I didn't see any of my regional resources. After I am able to think straight, I realize that the region was not the default region I usually log into.
Some browsers may change the AZ when logging in. Check AZ every time you log in.
Region*. AZs are within a Region!
Your resources may have been deleted due to accidental deletion or IAM user permissions. AWS does not automatically delete resources when a budget is exceeded, so it’s important to investigate further. Check AWS CloudTrail: CloudTrail logs will show who or what initiated the deletion of your resources. IAM Audit: Review IAM roles and permissions to ensure that only authorized users or services had the ability to delete your resources. These steps should help you understand what caused the deletions and if there was any unauthorized activity

I confirm that I have not set ANY budget actions.
UPDATE: My resources have mysteriously re-appeared! However, I am still concerned. Does anyone have an explanation or has experienced this before?
