AWS has been billing me a few cents per month for over a decade now. Eventually, the credit card I was using expired, and so every month for the past 7 years, they've sent me an email:
> Dear Amazon Web Services Customer,
> Your AWS Account is about to be suspended. There is still an outstanding payment problem with your account, as our previous communications did not lead to successful payment of your past due AWS charges.
> We were unable to charge your credit card for the amount of $0.26 for your use of AWS services during the month of Aug-2021. We will attempt to collect this amount again. Unless we are successful in collecting the balance of $0.26 in full by 09/30/2021, your Amazon Web Services account may be suspended or terminated.
The balance never increases, even though it always says the charges are from the previous month. It's as though they forget the balance each month because it's not worth collecting, then my account runs up another small charge, which they promptly forget.
And of course they have yet to terminate the account. I would gladly close it myself, but I'm locked out, and it's not really worth my time to figure it out how to get back in (plus they keep telling me they're going to terminate it, which is exactly what I want them to do!).
- Jonovono 5y agoI got this too, and they did eventually terminating my account. I missed all the emails tho, but when I went to use AWS for some project I found out I was terminated and the only way for me to use AWS again was to create a new account (I emailed them, they can't un terminate me)
