  • I found that they start charging before a year. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17528559/aws-how-to-disable-all-services – PaulProgrammer Apr 09 '21 at 07:13
  • An account does not cost anything, the services cost something. And they will certainly charging for services usage that exceeds the free tier, both if you exceed the 1-year-limit and the free-forever-limits. – luk2302 Apr 09 '21 at 07:13

There is no such thing as an "AWS Free Account".

Rather, for the first 12 months of a new AWS Account, the AWS Free Tier provides some billing discounts that provide certain amounts of service at no charge, such as 5GB of Amazon S3 storage and an Amazon EC2 micro instance for Windows and Linux.

If you have been using services that fall under the Free Tier, then after 12 months you would start being charged normal prices for those services. You can look in your Billing Console to view historical usage information.

There are actually some services that provide a free tier every month, even after 12 months. Consult the AWS Free Tier page for details.
