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!

Car plates giving answer

Once, I took SR seriously, then kinda forget about it and went on with a mid-low quality life for 1-2 years. Then, when I was having a hard time in life I went out for a walk and inside me I asked God what is the answer. Shortly after, I saw a car plate: xx SR xxxx. (X being numbers and letters) Then I thought, might that be the answer? No, probably it's just a coincidence. Then took a few steps and saw another plate, same car, same model, almost same aged identical car, xx RS xxx. Even the rest of the plates digits were same.
