Hello.
As mentioned in the image description, that is a limitation of the free tier of Snapshots.
EBS snapshots can be created for free up to 1GB for 12 months.
https://aws.amazon.com/ebs/pricing/
The region you are currently viewing is "us-east-1", but please check if there are any snapshots left in other regions.

If any snapshots remain, please try deleting them by following the steps in the document below.

To address your Free Tier usage limit concern and clean up your AWS resources, follow these steps:
-
Review your EC2 instances: Based on your dashboard, you have 1 running EC2 instance. If you're not actively using this instance, consider terminating it to reduce usage. Remember that stopping an instance doesn't eliminate all charges - you need to terminate it completely.
-
Check for EBS volumes: Even if an EC2 instance is stopped, attached EBS volumes continue to incur charges. Delete any unnecessary EBS volumes.
-
Examine other services: Look for any other active services that might be consuming your Free Tier allowance, such as S3 buckets, RDS instances, or Lambda functions.
-
Use EC2 Global View: This tool can help you identify any instances running in other regions that you might have forgotten about.
-
Review billing details: In the Billing Dashboard, examine the detailed breakdown of your charges to understand which services are contributing to your usage.
-
Set up billing alerts: Configure AWS Budgets or Free Tier usage alerts to notify you before you exceed limits in the future.
-
Understand Free Tier limits: Familiarize yourself with the specific limits for each service under the Free Tier. For example, EC2 offers 750 hours per month of t2.micro or t3.micro instances.
If after cleaning up resources you still see unexpected charges or usage, contact AWS Support through the Support Center. They can provide a detailed review of your account usage and help resolve any billing discrepancies.
Remember, it's crucial to regularly monitor your AWS usage and terminate or delete resources you're not actively using to avoid unexpected charges.
