It appears that you may have created an AWS account but haven't fully activated it yet, which is why you're not seeing the Free Tier services data. To activate your account and start benefiting from the AWS Free Tier, you need to complete a few important steps:
- Add a valid payment method to your account.
- Verify your phone number.
- Choose an AWS Support Plan.
It's crucial to understand that your AWS Free Tier benefits begin on the date you activate your account, not on the date you created it. Simply creating an account and entering your account and contact information is not sufficient to activate it.
Once you've completed these activation steps, your AWS Free Tier should become available. The Free Tier runs for 12 months after you activate your account, giving you access to a variety of AWS services either for free or at significantly reduced costs, subject to certain usage limits.
After activation, you should be able to see the Free Tier details in the billing section. You can then use filters to search for different tier types (such as Always Free, 12 Months Free, or short-term trials) and product categories to learn about the free usage available for various AWS services.
If you've already completed these steps and are still not seeing the Free Tier information, it might be worth contacting AWS Support for further assistance.

Hello,
The AWS Free Tier should be automatically available to you when you create a new account, but sometimes it can take a little time for the data to appear in the billing section. Here are a few things to check:
- Ensure your AWS account is fully set up, including providing billing information.
- The Free Tier data shows up once you've used Free Tier services like EC2 or S3.
- It can take some time (up to 24 hours) for usage data to appear.
- Make sure you're using services in a region where Free Tier is available.
