AWS Costs
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Excellent package here, a true lifesaver.
Not really a library issue, but based on the README, I was expecting costs to be little or nothing, however - it seems that I've managed to rack up $40.00 of API Gateway costs this month alone. I'm really not sure how this can be, I would expect my number of requests to be < 1,000,000.
Not a big deal, but was a bit surprised. Any ideas why the costs are so high?
Hi @rexovas! When you were using the library, did you stick to one region only or did you spread across many? If you spread across, then you get the benefit of using the free tier in each separate region, otherwise you'll quickly use it up in just one.
I spread across many, in fact - half of the costs are associated with “Other” regions
Maybe my account is not eligible for the free tier any longer? There is no way I would have previously used regions other than the us-east and maybe the us-west regions previously for any AWS service.
Strange.. Please can you check your free tier status on the Billing Console->Free Tier page?
If your account is more than a year old I don't think it'll be valid still.
Ah yep, this account is maybe 5-6 years old
Maybe time to make a new one 😉
Ahh yep that would be it.. I should probably clarify the higher costs in the README 😊
