Just got an AWS billing alert projecting my monthly cost at $140B

36•mirzap•1h ago

This has to be a bug. My usual monthly S3 bill is only $2–3. Has anyone else received a strange billing estimate today?

"Operational issue - AWS Billing Console (Global) Service - AWS Billing Console Severity Impacted - Inaccurate Estimated Billing Data"

Yes, I've got an estimated bill of $4bn. Probably related to the ongoing "Inaccurate Estimated Billing Data" incident?

AWS pushed the wishful thinking internal calculator to production.

Probably the safest bet is to pay your bill in full to stay in good standing and then get refunded the difference when they revise it down.

With interest, of course.

I'm disappointed I only got a bill for $28M, need to work harder on burning money. Seriously though I thought my life flashed before me

Yeah, small timers, I only got $4,4T. How will I finance this?

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

AWS revenue for 2025 was $128.7 billion, so I'd say probably a bug.
