Hello guys i have a weird problem with my amazon account..I enable the S3 free tier service and i upload some files to the bucket.After 1 month i remove all the files and i delete the bucket..I thought that i have finish with this but then yestarday i recieved a weird email that says amazon will charge me if i dont disable my Free Tier Services.In my account setting i can see
but its weird because i dont have any buckets
As you've now deleted the S3 bucket you should not be charged anything, it's possible that the notification was delayed. If you have multiple accounts ensure that you're in the correct account.
The 2 requests in your screenshot are presumably from two ListBuckets requests when you attempted to view your S3 buckets in your AWS account.
Just in case you're using organisations with shared billing be aware that the free tier would be used by a single account.
At the end of the month you should receive your billing for the month, if S3 is added there you can use Cost Explorer to dive into your service usage that might help to identify any resource(s) you were not aware of. Using this would cost $0.01 per query to the service.

I have been monitoring my billing dashboard for a few days now and I notice that my s3 requests, put, copy, post, list requests and get requests keep adding up even though Im not using s3, in fact I have stopped using my AWS account for few days to monitor any changes, also I have deleted all my previously created s3 buckets, lambda functions associated with it, dynamodb tables, api gateways. I remeber hosting a website using s3, but I had deleted that bucket, is there something that i am missing which is causing it. I am on the free tier and I am afraid that I might exceed the free tier if I dont know what is causing this, despite mine not using my AWS account. i am new to AWS hence, the difficulty in understanding it. I would really appreciate some help in this matter.
i have a 30 day free trail Snowflake account. I am accessing a dataset [Covid-19 starschema] in this . The need now is to map the underlying AWS instance with a AWS account id which i already have. I want to avoid overrunning the credits available and would want the billing to be linked to my AWS account id. Any guidance on how to achieve this?
Depending on the region your AWS Account is hosted in you can potentially use AWS Marketplace to link your Snowflake account to your AWS billing.
Additionally, unless you have contacted Snowflake directly, to organize a different arrangement, typically the free trial period credits will run out and any snowflake activity halted when used up, you won't be charged for any additional usage.
I have been using the AmazonS3 service to store some files.
I have uploaded 4 videos and they are public. I'm using a third party video player for those videos (JW Player). As a new user on the AWS Free Tier, my free PUT, POST and LIST requests are almost used up from 2000 allowed requests, and for four videos that seems ridiculous.
Am I missing something or shouldn't one upload be one PUT request, I don't understand how I've hit that limit already.
The AWS Free Tier for Amazon S3 includes:
5GB of standard storage (normally $0.023 per GB)
20,000 GET requests (normally $0.0004 per 1,000 requests)
2,000 PUT requests (normally $0.005 per 1,000 requests)
In total, it is worth up to 13.3 cents every month!
So, don't be too worried about your current level of usage, but do keep an eye on charges so you don't get too many surprises. You can always Create a Billing Alarm to Monitor Your Estimated AWS Charges.
The AWS Free Tier is provided to explore AWS services. It is not intended for production usage.
It would be very hard to find out the reason for this without debugging a bit. So I would suggest you try the following debugging :
See if you have cloudtrail enabled. If yes, then you can track the API calls to S3 to see if anything is wrong there.
If you have cloudtrail enabled then it itself put data into the S3 bucket that might also take up some of the requests.
See if you have logging enabled at the bucket level, that might give you more insight on what all requests are reaching your bucket.
Your vides are public and that is the biggest concern here as you don't know who all can access it.
Setup cloudwatch alarms to avoid any surprises and try to look at logs to find out the issue.
I need to download this 60 milions tweets dataset (https://github.com/compsocial/CREDBANK-data) for my thesis work.
So I signed up for an AWS account and configured it with the correct parameters in my Mac terminal, then I signed in also into the S3 page, BUT when I try the following command:
aws s3api get-object --request-payer requester --bucket credbank --key stream_tweets_byTimestamp.data stream_tweets_byTimestamp.data
I get this error message:
An error occurred (NotSignedUp) when calling the GetObject operation: Your account is not signed up for the S3 service. You must sign up before you can use S3.
So, from what I understand, the problem is that my prepaid card wasn't accepted as a valid payment method and therefore my account isn't fully activated yet.
So, my question is, if I only need to run the get-object command above to download the data, could I be charged for some money if I use a real credit card, even if with my new account I'm in the 12-months free tier period?
Please let me know if you need further details to understand my question!
Thank you very much!
No. Your card will not be charged a single penny unless one of these happens:
a) You use >5 GB of Standard Storage. This one is really important in your case so ensure the data size you will be downloading
b) You make >20,000 Get Requests
c) You make >2,000 Put Requests
I've signed up for AWS free tier and used their S3 and EC2 services for a year without bearing any cost.
If the file you want to download is smaller than 15GB, then the download will cost you nothing, even if you use a real credit card.
You'll only use 1 GET request (you have 20,000 free) and a portion of the 15 GB of free download transfer per month.

As part of the AWS Free Usage Tier, you can get started with Amazon S3
for free. Upon sign-up, new AWS customers receive 5 GB of Amazon S3
storage in the Standard Storage class, 20,000 Get Requests, 2,000 Put
Requests, and 15 GB of data transfer out each month for one year.
KMS requests are continuously increasing on my AWS account. I am on Free Tier package. My monthly quota is 20,000 requests, but in first 7 days, I've used 45 % of it (9000 requests).
Please tell me how to control this number I have no instance running at the time still the requests are increasing. No instance, no KMS keys, no web apps, no deployments, and I don't know why this is happening to me. I tried a lot to search on Google but couldn't find anything helpful.
EDIT:
First I created an instance and deployed a Django project. After 3 days I terminated that instance. Now I have no services running. In last 2 days, KMS requests count has been increased by 10%.
KMS is used by a number of other AWS services, and there is also a default key. Some examples of where this can be used:
Encrypting data of any type
AWS Certification Manager SSL certs in an ELB/CloudFront
As for encryption, there's encrypted EBS volumes, RedShift data, S3 bucket data, parameters in EC2 Parameter Store, etc. If you still haven't got any idea what is causing the KMS allocation hits you might want to use CloudTrail to log calls. Note that CloudTrail itself can encrypt data and essentially kill your KMS allocations, and the logs it stores in S3 count against your S3 allocations.
After trying a lot I finally sorted out this by my self.
the problem was a remaining S3 bucket, after deleting those the KMS requests stopped increasing.
