A couple of relevant links: - AWS Status Page: https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status - Reddit Thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/aws/comments/1uyuaw7/help_my_bill_s...

Just got a budget alert that I owe $286,486,223.88 on a hobby aws account, almost got a heart attack.

I was actually in the toilet when I got an email I owe them $36,869,876,146.51. I literally just shit myself.
andystanton•1h ago
Mine was about the same and evoked a similar response.

I got one for 8 billion while I was eating lunch. Thankfully I managed to not vomit.
princetman•1h ago
Mine is showing $241,946,798,744.75. I know it will be reverted, but for a brief minute there I suspected someone compromised my account and triggered rust rewrite of everything using thousands of agents via Bedrock :)

Phew.

Maybe this is a new strategy to scare people into finally locking down their old, unused AWS accounts. It sure worked for me!
TekMol•29m ago
It was over $500k in the email I got. Not a fun experience. My hands were trembling.

Makes you wonder - what if there really would be an incident where some massive amount of traffic got routed to your infrastructure by some heavyweight player? Say Wikipedia accidentally switches their IP to your CloudFront? Would you really be on the hook for $500k?

Hamuko•18m ago
Well, even if AWS tried to charge my credit card on file for $500k, it would definitely not go through. Then they’d probably either forgive your bill or just ban you, since I imagine the threshold for taking people to court is fairly high.

yeah.. i just to a daily cost alert.. it was only 23 trillion dollars this month. i thought, hmm seems kind of high this month.
