WAF Cost per day $0.27 since 16/05/2023, unable to determine from where the cost is incurred

0

Hi, I have been charged since May on usaging of WAF ($0.27 per day), however I couldn't figure out from where this cost is incurred. I had a look at the AWS services I have used in the past and all of them are deleted / disabled.

Can you please let me know how I can turn off WAF to avoid the onging fee charge?

Also, can the fee charged be waived since I was not using it intentionly?

Thanks, Joyce

The first step is to identify the region where the WAF and Web ACL rules are located.
Check your invoice or Cost explorer to see in which region you are charged.
Once the region is identified, change to the region with Web ACLs, etc., and follow the procedures in the following document to remove them.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/web-acl-deleting.html

For fee waivers, please open an "Account and billing" case with AWS Support.
However, please note that this is not a guarantee of waiver.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your prompt response! I was able to delete the web ACL rule after knowing it is under Global region. The "region" option in WAF can be easily overlooked.

Can you please let me know how WAF was used in this scenario, where the CloudFront service was deleted long time ago? Does that mean even if CloudFront is deleted, the attached web ACls continues working? For what purpose?

CloudFront and AWS WAF are two different services, so even if CloudFront was deleted, AWS WAF would have remained unerased.
AWS WAF is not used if not tied to a resource.
Note, however, that a fee will be charged while it remains as a resource.
