AWS Sagemaker Charging when it is not is usage

Question

Why I am being charged with AWS Sagemaker when I am not using it .
I am on a Free tier account and still being charged.

I stopped the service and haven't used it at all in past month but still got charged 170 USD. 
This functionality  of AWS is not good at all.

I am a student and wanted to learn AWS within Free tier .

Need help urgently.

I have already made an offical complaint.

being a student I do not have the money to  pay such a huge balance

If not in use why Sagemaker kept on going when the code execution is finished.??

Answer

Hello,

It's possible that SageMaker resources were not fully cleaned up after your previous experiment, leading to unexpected ongoing charges. A few things to check:

* Check Cost Explorer for the specific SageMaker resources, like notebook instances or endpoints, and their statuses. Idle resources will still incur charges.
 
* Ensure any notebook instances or endpoints were properly deleted after the experiment. Running or idle resources will continue to be billed until they are fully removed.
 
* Refer to the AWS documentation for steps to properly shut down notebook instances and delete endpoints to ensure all related resources are cleaned up. Commands like sagemaker delete-endpoint need to be run.
