I created an aws account a year ago. And I reserved a t2.small instance for 1 year. Now I want to switch to t2.micro and I was wondering if I am still eligible for free tier? During the previous year I was also using ESB 30gib under the free tier.
Yes, your free tier is over. The free tier is up to 1 year from the date of your AWS account creation
Even AWS do let you know whenever you are about to launch any Instance whether is it in the free tire or not.

I'm just wondering about the free tier. I've created an EC2 instance with windows server 2019. When I selected it it said "free tier eligible". Does this mean it'll be free forever, will I be charged for something and how can I prevent any extra charges?
I believe you get 750 Hours per month for a single free tier instance during your first 12 months. Meaning you should just be able to keep it running for the first year of your membership.
More details can be found here.
Just have a question around, AWS Free tier accoount, Will they be charging after one year?
Should I be closing it after an year?
The account that I am using is for my perssonal practice.
There is no such thing as an "AWS Free Account".
Rather, for the first 12 months of a new AWS Account, the AWS Free Tier provides some billing discounts that provide certain amounts of service at no charge, such as 5GB of Amazon S3 storage and an Amazon EC2 micro instance for Windows and Linux.
If you have been using services that fall under the Free Tier, then after 12 months you would start being charged normal prices for those services. You can look in your Billing Console to view historical usage information.
There are actually some services that provide a free tier every month, even after 12 months. Consult the AWS Free Tier page for details.
I'm using AWS RDS by free tier.
I created a database in January, and created another databse in February.
Today morning, I got a message that I was charged 12 dollars for overusage.
I checked my AWS cost management, and found out that the cost for March so far is $0.
I know that the free tier gives me 750 hours.
But does it mean that I can use 750 hours every month?
If so, can I use one database for free every month because 750/24 = 31?
And did I get charged because I am activating two databases?
Thanks.
From the AWS documentation:
750 hours of Amazon RDS Single-AZ db.t2.micro Instance usage running MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle BYOL or SQL Server (running SQL Server Express Edition) – enough hours to run a DB Instance continuously each month
so if you run two instances, that will be a total of 1500 hours of usage, so you will be charged extra. But you can run one instance for free each month. Note that the RDS instance is part of the 12 months free tier in AWS. That means that this offer only holds for 12 months after creation of your AWS account.
I created an AWS account and use it for several years now. Now, I was experimenting with the RDS instance (free tier) and this started to change me.
So, I believe that the free tier is only free within 12 months of the AWS account creation.
CHECK DAILY THE AWS ACCOUNT, I had another mistake earlier that cost me $300 for that.

Amazon EC2 Free tier - how many instances can I run [closed]

Closed 4 years ago.
I have created instances in AWS free tier account. Hope max 20 instances can be created under free tier. I have created some 18 instances. Again if I want to create a 5more instance it's not possible as it reaches max, so I am planning delete 3 and create another 5. So will it count that 3 deleted instance or won't be any problem?
With AWS free tier, you can run a maximim of 750 free machine hours of micro instances. There shouldn't be a "maximum number of instances". You will just be billed for usage of micro instances that exceeds 750 hours per month, which would be equivalent to one micro instance running 24x7. You'd also be billed normally for any of the larger instance configurations.

I created free amazon ec2 instance with IP X, one year later this instance get expired.
Now after that can I again create new free instance with ip Y?
My uses is very limited and covered up within free limit. What pre caution should be taken while using this free instances?
The AWS Free Tier for Amazon EC2 instances is valid for 12 months after you created your account. Details are available at http://aws.amazon.com/free/
For EC2, you have 750h/month of t2.micro Linux or Windows instance. This is equivalent to one instance running 24/7 or 2 instances 12h per day etc ...
If you create a new AWS Account today, you will get another year of free tier with that account
