AWS: Inaccurate Estimated Billing Data – $1.7 billion

Posted by nprateem 1 day ago

I've got an estimated bill for $1.7 BILLION over this month. Normal usage is < $5.

Obvs have created an urgent AWS support ticket. Anyone else seeing something like this?

I also like the percentual change, that is a lot of comma's.

I am running a niche SaaS with around 20 users per day on AWS.

I too was shocked when I saw the $1.7billion bill, instead of the usual $1.5billion.

It's okay. They are market leaders. And we use their services cause we can trust that they know what they are doing.

In my 30s, I almost had a heart attack too. I got a notification saying that my cost budget had been increased to one million dollars...

Lol, Friday deployment is a bad omen even with LLM. Some things are just unchangeable facts of life.
