Questions tagged with AWS Savings Plans

We purchased the Savings Plans mistakenly and contacted customer support as soon as we saw the charge. What are the steps to process the refund? I don't see any option to cancel the plan. Happy to provide the created case Id. We are an early-stage company, and the charge is too expensive for us at this moment. Looking forward to hearing soon!

Hi Guys, does anyone know if it's possible to share RI/SavingPlans between different AWS Organizations? (someone told me that it's possible but I can't get documentation on that) - I am pretty sure that is not possible but I want to be sure. Thanks in advance! :)

Hi, I'm in Brazil and the only option to pay my bills here is with a credit card. I need to buy a savings plan, but I don't have enough credit to cover my bill + savings plan. Is there some sort of direct transfer? Regards.

Hi there! On Dec 1st I submitted a purchase for a savings plan which should cover m5 family ec2 instance usage on us-east-1 region. I made the calculations to cover roughly what I was planning to use, but when looking at the billing details, it shows it only covered around %40 of the actual usage; but again, when looking at the saving plans usage, it shows only %54 of it was used. I couldn't figure out why all the usage wasn't being applied agaisnt the savings plan. The instance usage I intended to cover with this plan was a m5.2xlarge running Windows with SQL Enterprise. (The only m5 instance I'm actively using in this region) Unfortunatelly I can't post screenshots, but my m5 coverage report on us-east-1 region shows 44% coverage, but on the other hand my Saving plan utilization report shows only 54% usage. Thanks!!

customer purchased savings plan by mistake, can they cancel it?

Since I am new with AWS, I just come across Organizations in AWS, and just created new OUs and AWS Accounts. Initially, I have an EC2 and a Savings plan under one account since I don't know Organizations then. Now that my main account is the Management Account, I want the EC2 instance and the Savings plan to be transferred to the new AWS Account under a specific OU. This is so that I can easily manage and determine the costs per OU. Is this possible? And if not, will this work: * Savings Plan will stay in the Management Account (I can't recreate this one since the plan is already for 3 years); * EC2 will be deleted on the Management Account; * Recreate a new EC2 on the new AWS Account; * with Consolidated Billing, the Savings Plan in the Management Account will take account for the EC2 on the new AWS Account Let me know your thoughts on this.

ML instances are not specifically listed under the available instance types for Savings Plans: https://aws.amazon.com/savingsplans/pricing/ But there is nothing that explicitly excludes them. Are ML instances (https://aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/pricing/instance-types/) covered under the compute or instance savings plans?
