How to stop charges after deleting SageMaker notebook and close AWS account

Question

Hello,

I recently noticed unexpected charges on my AWS account. After checking the billing details, I found that they came from Amazon SageMaker (Notebook instance).

I have already stopped and deleted the notebook instance (ml.t3.medium) in SageMaker, but I still see pending charges in my Billing dashboard.

My questions are:

Will the charges stop after the deletion of the SageMaker notebook and its storage (EBS volume)?

Do I need to take any additional actions to make sure no more resources are running and no further charges appear?

What is the correct procedure to close my AWS account completely so that my payment method is removed and no future billing occurs?

Thank you in advance for your help.
