Ask HN: Any AWS billing issues known? Amazon forecast of 3 billion dollars
Summary
An HN discussion reports an AWS billing anomaly where a Budgets alert shows a forecasted cost of about $3.005B despite little activity in the last year. The user notes the AWS console lists the amount and mentions a support AI bot suggesting a billing/metering error; AWS health status link indicates a known issue with cost estimation. The user has disabled IAM roles and resources to rule out compromise and asks others for similar experiences.
