"Your Amazon Web Services Free Tier expires soon"

0

I received this email from AWS, saying "Your Amazon Web Services Free Tier expires soon" I have no idea I requested but it says " If no action is taken, your resources will continue to run, and you’ll be automatically billed for any active resources when the 12-month Free Tier period ends." Can you please help me resign from this? It is appreciated if you could let me know the POC. Thank you

Every account is in-scope of AWS Free Tier for the first year. Certain services are in scope of free tier, typically these are small, low-powered instances that are designed to get a new user acquainted with AWS and all its services for a low (or no) cost.

The FAQ for Free Tier is here https://aws.amazon.com/free/free-tier-faqs/

Full details of what's in-scope of free tier (some items are free for 12 months, some for shorter, some forever, and some never) are here https://aws.amazon.com/free/

After the free tier period expires, items which your account could take advantage of for free will now be chargeable https://aws.amazon.com/pricing/

Detailed advice on terminating resources you don't need any more is here https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/terminate-resources-account-closure

A drastic option if you want to terminate all running resources is AWS Nuke (caution: use with care!) https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prescriptive-guidance/latest/patterns/automate-deletion-of-aws-resources-by-using-aws-nuke.html

Can you please help me resign from this?

  • I followed all the steps on the guide it was sent to my email to terminate my free tier but the billing console is still showing a cost breakdown for an Amazon Simple storage service, I double checked and there is no active or disabled buckets on the S3 console but is still charging me $0.000032. I reviewed the new Cost explore and shows that i have 6 services, but there is no records or services deployed/enable when i review every service console. How can i make ensure the delete/termination of all the services?
