About Unexpected Bill By AWS

Hi,

Go to Billing and Cost Management, then Cost Explorer, then you see details.

Thanks,

Have you actually received an invoice from AWS saying that you are being charged for something, and/or has AWS taken a payment from you?

Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/billing/home#/freetier and it will show what your free tier entitlements are, and how much you have used of each.

If you are running instances that are in-scope of free tier, which are t2.micro & t3.micro, and up to 30GB EBS storage attached (gp2 or gp3) then you shouldn't be charged anything.

The Billing section of AWS Console may show a charge for the month that is in progress, but when you invoice is generated at the end of the month your free tier entitlement will be applied to this, and after this the final payment amount is calculated.

If you do get charged, by which I mean you get an invoice for a non-zero amount of EC2 usage and AWS actually takes payment from your billing method, then you can log a billing support call at https://support.console.aws.amazon.com/support/home#/case/create?issueType=customer-service
