Questions tagged with AWS Billing

I recently got an email that my free tier is ending soon (I activated S3 almost a year ago for a tutorial project). I logged in and removed all services and all resources from all regions. Using Tag Editor I confirmed there are no active resources on my account, but under Billing there was still S3 visible in one region. Your support pages suggest that it may take up to 24 hours for that list to update. I checked again today to make sure I wont get charged. The Tag Editor still returns no results for active resources (All regions, all supported resource types), but now, under Billing (Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL charges by service), I see multiple services that I never selected or had visible yesterday: CodeArtifact, Data Transfer, Key Management Service, Secrets Manager, Simple Notification Service, Simple Queue Service, Simple Storage Service and Systems Manager. All of them have all available regions under them, except for S3 which has only one region (same as it was yesterday). What is going on? Am I going to get charged for that? When I open the consoles for those services there is no items in a list so I guess they are not active afterall??? I have no experience with AWS, and this is just confusing. Can someone please explain what is going on?lg...

Hi, I have followed the [documentation](https://wellarchitectedlabs.com/cost/200_labs/200_cloud_intelligence/cost-usage-report-dashboards/dashboards/deploy_dashboards/) as mentioned in link. But I'm not getting all accounts data in dashboard, its showing data only for destination account. As i can't use/access management account so I'm getting all my individual accounts data(creating cur and storing into s3) and storing to one destination account like below. s3://cur-buck****/account/SourceAccount1/cur/cur/year=2023/month=3/0001.snappy.parquet s3://cur-buck****/account/SourceAccount2/cur/cur/year=2023/month=3/0001.snappy.parquet s3://cur-buck****/account/SourceAccount3/cur/cur/year=2023/month=3/0001.snappy.parquet s3://cur-buck****/account/DestinationAccount1/cur/cur/year=2023/month=3/0001.snappy.parquet I'm crawling location s3://cur-buck****/account/ in crawler s3. My dashboards were deployed successfully and working well but i'm getting only data for destination account. Account_map view is also giving 1 entry of destination account. I'm unable to get other accounts data even in athena query. Please help , I still not able to get this CURBucketPath path when we have multiple accounts. May be i have added wrong prefix while creating stack via CFN.  Thanks!lg...

I followed this link https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/hands-on/create-mariadb-db/ to create and host my MariaDB on this platform, but even know I selected the free tier and disabled Multi-AZ deployment by selecting "do not create stand by instance", I was still charged $89, most of which are name: '$0.342 per RDS db.m6i.large Multi-AZ instance hour' '$0.2 per IOPS-month of provisioned io1 IOPS for Multi-AZ deployments running MariaDB' '$0.25 per GB-month of provisioned io1 storage for Multi-AZ deploy' Furthermore, under the configuration page, I can see that the value for Multi-AZ is no, according to this link https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Concepts.MultiAZ.html For Multi-AZ DB instance deployment characteristics, I only meet the first two characteristics, the third one, "The value of Multi-AZ is Yes." which does not apply because of the above. And the Multi-AZ DB cluster deployment is unrelated at all to my case. why was I charged for a service I did not select to begin with?lg...

In the last two days, my billing increased a lot due to lots of S3 ListObjects api requests. I'm sure it wasn't originated by my services. I'd like to know how can I figure out where are these requests coming from, and which buckets were accessed? I had no clue on this issue. Then I enabled CloudTrail service, but still didn't find out where S3 ListObjects came from.lg...
