AWS S3 Free Tier request limit

0

I'm new to AWS and am using S3 to host eLearning courses on the web. I got an alert within 24 hours of uploading my first content that I had reached my request limit for the Free Tier. I'm confused about what a request is and how I would have gotten so many so quickly without sharing links to content with any yet. Any info would be helpful, thank you!

Message I got "Your AWS account xxxxxxxxxxxx has exceeded 85% of the usage limit for one or more AWS Free Tier-eligible services for the month of March."

I also logged in to check and it says that I have exceeded 2,000 requests.

You can turn on logging for the bucket to see where the requests are coming from. See: Logging requests using server access logging.

Also, you can turn on Block Public Access to stop any requests to your bucket from the internet.

Have you created a ticket with AWS?

One thing you can do is to create a request limit, to only allow a certain number of requests, or you can configure an auto-scaling group to start when your site reaches a certain number of requests

Alternatively, enable "block public access", which should be enabled by default if I'm not mistaken

Hi,

Per month, for one year, you get this for free:

  • 5 GB of Standard Storage
  • 20,000 Get Requests
  • 2,000 Put Requests

If you have uploaded many files, their aggregated size is closer to 5gb and/or you have been reading them manually or automatically, it is most likely that you are reaching limits of monthly free tier.

Hope it clarifies ;)

Hi, i'm having exactly the same issue. I have reach also to support team but none of them help me to respond to this. I have an s3 bucket and for some reason the put request keep growing, while i don't put any file on it. The support request was to enable server access logging and cloudtrail that indeed have increase even more the total of put request because of the log that are created on the log s3 bucket.
And the best part : There is no put request seen in the log for my bucket. But the counter still increase.... Anyone no what would cause that ??
