Unable to determining CloudWatch charges

Question

Hi,

I am currently receiving an AWS charged alert email and seeing a Cloudwatch alarm in my Verginia dashboard. Attempt to delete all services and instances, however the alert remains. I accepted the earlier rate by email, however I'm not sure whether there is any instance still operating that could potentially increase the charge.

All of the services I've utilized were from AWS Coursera classes and were not for personal projects. Thank you for any advice.

Thank you very much.

Hi there,

It is very common that a seamingly empty account will still incur some costs.

You can use `Cost Explorer` to investigate where the costs are coming from.

Grouping the costs on `Service` or `Usage Type` should give a good indication.

Usual suspects:
- VPC Service Endpoints
- S3 Storage
- VPC NAT Gateways

There is also a good tool to wipe nearly anything left behind in an account:
