Hello victor, =>You can also follow these steps to investigate: Review Billing Dashboard: Check for specific charges.

Identify Active Resources: Look for running EC2 instances, S3 buckets, RDS databases, etc.

If the issue persists, open a support ticket with AWS Support.

to address the issue of being billed for an unused account:

Steps to Resolve Billing Issues Review Account Activity

Log in to your account. Check recent transactions for any unrecognized charges. Check for Subscriptions or Recurring Payments

Look for any active subscriptions or services that might be billing you automatically. Contact Customer Service

Reach out to the company's customer service or billing department. Provide your account number and ask for an explanation of the charges. Dispute Unauthorized Charges

If you find unauthorized charges, dispute them with your bank or credit card company. Cancel the Account or Subscription

If you no longer need the account or service, cancel it and get confirmation of the cancellation. Monitor Your Account

Check the Bills section in your AWS account to see detailed charges. Sometimes, resources continue running in regions you may not frequently check. AWS resources are region-specific, so if you only search one region, you might miss active resources in others.

Additionally, if your free tier usage has ended, any running services—even low-cost ones—can start incurring charges. It's important to:

1. Review all regions for active EC2, RDS, S3, or other services.
2. Check the Billing > Bills page for detailed usage.
3. Use the Cost Explorer to track and understand ongoing charges.
