Public IP addresses unable to remove

0

Hi everyone recently I had tried to address the issue of VPC charges on my free tier account. Using public IP insights I saw how I had a DB instance running in RDS and proceeded to delete said DB instance in the region allocated to it. However now I am seeing on public IP insights that I am still being charged despite me deleting the DB instance. Even on RDS it doesn't display any DB instance running.Enter image description hereEnter image description hereEnter image description here

Hi,

I would recommend you to check if a security group that was attached to the RDS instance is still existing, try to delete it along with the Network interface and check again. I think service managed IP probably still associated with a Network interface.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/v1/userguide/cli-services-ec2-sg.html#deleting-a-security-group

Starting February 1, 2024, charges will apply for all service managed public IPv4 addresses, and on resources launched in your Amazon VPCs

Hi,

You must look after the corresponding ENI initially allocated to our RDS instance and try to delete here. See doc: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-eni.html

Best,
