What is "CreateDBInstance:0014" and "CreateDBInstance" API operations for "RDS:ChargedBackupUsage (GB-Month)" usage type?

0

Hi there,

I'm checking what usage in AWS is not tagged with the 3 tags I usually have (Env, Role, State) and I see the following. Could you help me to get from where it's coming since I've all of my instances tagged and the option that copy tags to snapshot is also enabled?

The subject and body appear to be asking 2 different questions. I assume you're interested in knowing why RDS:ChargedBackupUsage is untagged. I am aware of 2 possible cases: 1/ orphaned snapshots have no DB instance to refer to, hence no reference to instance tags either. In Cost Explorer and Cost and Usage Report, costs for RDS orphaned snapshots aggregated in a single, untagged item. 2/ Short-lived instances (less than one hour) might not get time to export tags. As a result, tags might not get applied to snapshots of short-lived instances.

If you have an AWS support option, I recommend opening a support case and support engineer can look into your AWS account and help trace those untagged charges back to specific snapshots / instances.

    Not sure why you think so. I'm just interested in what is "CreateDBInstance:0014" and "CreateDBInstance" APIs are since I do not understand from where they come and why it's not tagged with the Env/Role/State tag I'm applying to all my resources.

    2/ Short-lived instances (less than one hour) might not get time to export tags.

    But I do not have any instances like that. All of my DBs are running 24/7.

    Thanks for refining the question. CreateDBInstance:0014 is PostgreSQL. RDS:ChargedBackupUsage (GB-Month) is additional GB-month of backup storage exceeding free allocation running PostgreSQL. Similar question was asked and answered here: https://repost.aws/questions/QU1ENZEjkgRGmEaL4J8X-Ekw/how-do-i-find-the-storage-that-i-m-being-billed-for You can look into Cost and Usage report for individual resource that incurs such charges: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cur/latest/userguide/what-is-cur.html If you still have questions, I encourage you to reach out to AWS Support. Hope this helps.

Guys, does anyone even understand what exactly this CreateDBInstance:0014 means? Why do I have two db.t3.small databases on one account and this operation takes $3 per day there, and on another account one database db.t3.micro, but here it is already $12.5 per day? When I switched to RDS in the official pricing, I saw a price of $0.021 per hour, which is approximately $0.50 per day. Why such an overprice?
