Hello.
As described in the following document, listing S3 buckets consumes the free tier.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/aws-usage-report-understand.html
region-Requests-Tier1 The number of PUT, COPY, or POST requests for STANDARD, RRS, and tags, plus LIST requests for all buckets and objects
region-Requests-Tier2 The number of GET and all other non-Tier1 requests
S3 charges for the number of APIs executed.
Basically, I think that just displaying a list of S3 buckets is within the free tier.

So, if you don't have S3 in your AWS account, I think you can reduce consumption of the free tier by not displaying the S3 console etc.

Thank you Riku for your help. How to do it "I think you can reduce consumption of the free tier by not displaying the S3 console etc."? I have s3 in my favorites panel. Do you mean to remove s3 from favorites or something else? I have the number 2 in the "AWS Billing Dashboard" "AWS summary" - "Total number of active services". As I understood one of them is Simple Storage Service, because in Bills I see $0.00 for the Simple Storage Service. Maybe it's somehow related to my issue and I have to remove from "Total number of active services" or "Bills" Simple Storage Service that I don't use. Or should I still remove s3 just from My favorites that is shown on the top left of my Management console now, as I said before?
There is no need to remove it from your favorites. In short, there is no problem unless you access the S3 dashboard and display the S3 list.
So, I should do nothing in my case, shouldn't I? Is it just inevitable to have the consumption of the free tier of s3 even without any s3 if I just click sometimes on s3 icon on my s3 favorite icon?
Yes, when you access the S3 console and display the S3 bucket list, the listbucket API will be executed even if there are no S3 buckets, so the free tier will be consumed.
