0

Hi AWS,

I removed ECS clusters and cleared ECR repo as well on 28th Nov 2025. But today i still see charges against ECS.

Kindly help.

Thanks,

  • To confirm, you are checking daily charges and not monthly charges?

I understand your frustration about seeing ECS charges even after removing your clusters and clearing your ECR repositories. This is a common issue that can happen for several reasons:

  1. Billing lag: AWS may charge for resources that were active earlier in the billing cycle, even if they're no longer running. There can be a delay between resource deletion and when charges stop appearing.

  2. Hidden resources: When you delete ECS clusters, there might be associated resources that aren't automatically deleted, such as:

  • Load balancers that were created for your services
  • Network interfaces with public IP addresses
  • EBS volumes
  • Elastic IP addresses
  1. Resources in other regions: Make sure to check all AWS regions for any remaining ECS-related resources that might be using services and generating charges.

To resolve this issue, I recommend:

  1. Use the AWS Billing and Cost Management Dashboard to identify exactly which ECS-related services are generating charges.

  2. Check for any lingering resources across all regions, including network interfaces, load balancers, and other components that might have been created by your ECS clusters.

  3. Use the EC2 Global View to check for network interfaces across all regions that might be retaining public IP addresses (which now incur charges).

  4. If you're still unable to locate the source of these charges after following these steps, contact AWS Support directly. They can provide a detailed analysis of your account and help identify any hidden resources causing these charges.

Remember that simply stopping or deleting the main service doesn't always stop all associated charges - you need to ensure all related resources are properly terminated as well.
