Free Tier Expiration Email - Where is my service running exactly?
I just received an email saying that my free tier is about to expire. After look at the Billing and Cost Management > Free Tier I get
So, then I looked in Elastic Compute Cloud service, and in global view, I cannot find any instances running?
Where exactly do I cancel this service to prevent being charged after free tier ends?

Hello.
Judging from the contents, I think it is related to EBS volume.
Looking at the global view image, it seems that there is no EBS volume itself.
However, there is a possibility that some snapshots remain, so please check the snapshots by following the steps in the document below and delete them if they remain.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/ebs-deleting-snapshot.html#ebs-delete-snapshot
I recommend checking snapshots for each region.
You can change the region using the management console by following the steps in the document below.

I looked through all the regions I can possibly create a service/instance in (does AWS provide a way to quickly search all snapshots for all regions inside of one by one?) and I have not found any snapshots. Is there any other possibilities?
You can find the resources in your AWS account by following the steps "Confirm you have terminated all active resources" described in the document below. If "AWS::EC2::Volume" or "AWS::EC2::Snapshot" is found in the search results, there are resources left. https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/check-for-active-resources
I have located which region it is in under the "charge by service" in "bills" section of "bills and cost management" tab, with the following description of the EBS - "$0.00 per GB-month of General Purpose (SSD) provisioned storage under monthly free tier". I have followed the "check for active resources" as still have not found the location to delete this service.
As a result of my search, I think that if there are no snapshots or EBS volumes, there will be no charge. If you have any concerns, I recommend opening a case with AWS Support under "Account and billing". Inquiries under "Account and billing" can be made free of charge. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awssupport/latest/user/case-management.html
