Closed AWS account am I 100% safe from charges?
Hi everyone, quick sanity check regarding a closed AWS account.
I closed my personal AWS learning account on July 13 after attempting to terminate all resources across regions. On August 1, I got my monthly invoice for $0.00.
However, I just received an automated email saying my Free Tier and remaining $105 in promo credits will expire on August 24.
I'm unexperienced, im afraid of making a mistake and since I can no longer log in, I want to double-check:
- Does closing the account on July 13 completely freeze pay-as-you-go billing, even if I accidentally missed a small resource (like an EBS volume or Elastic IP)?
- When the $105 credits expire on August 24 during the 90-day post-closure window, is there any possibility of my credit card getting charged?
- Is the $0.00 invoice from August 1 solid proof that no ongoing balance is accruing?
Just want to make sure I won't get any surprise charges. Thanks!
