Doesn't look right? Things you could check:
- Check your AWS account — Logging into console.aws.amazon.com would show any active services, recent invoices, and a cost breakdown.
- Look for a billing email — AWS sends detailed invoices by email — searching your inbox for 'AWS' or 'Amazon Web Services' may surface a matching receipt.
- Consider who might have access — If you share devices or accounts, someone else — such as a family member or developer — may have set up AWS services under your payment method.
- Review linked accounts — AWS Organizations allows multiple sub-accounts under one billing profile, so the charge could relate to a linked account rather than your main one.
An Amazon Web Services charge — cloud hosting and developer infrastructure. This is common for anyone running a website, app, or online service.
