alt Hacker NewsAWS: Inaccurate Estimated Billing Data – $1.7 billion
URL already posted: https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status
I've got an estimated bill for $1.7 BILLION over this month. Normal usage is < $5.
Obvs have created an urgent AWS support ticket. Anyone else seeing something like this?

AMZN Q2 numbers are in, and it turns out they're going to Goldman Sachs the AI bubble.

I think I would have just waited to see what happened when AWS tried to hit my credit card for $1,700,000,000.
When do you ever get that opportunity?
Imagine the chaos if, as people sometimes suggest should happen, AWS shut down running instances in accounts that exceeded a billing threshold..
So long as customers are good for it, AWS is about to crush earnings!
Rife.
If its less than 2 billion is likely to be real :-) I would relax only if its in the trillions ...
I guess on the plus side I'm $1.7B better off so I can retire...
AWS has become the uber employer: before AWS, you just had regular employers steeling employee wages bit by bit by forcing work, skipping breaks, etc.
All hail the new generations of our uberployers.
Same, i am now a slave to Jeff Bezos to the end of my life.
Three billion dollars sounds about right for a free week of Kiro in the default Agentic mode. We usually see slightly higher numbers, so I wouldn’t be too concerned.
storage, compute cost is increasing AWS be like lets increase prices
File a GDPR request to have your account deleted.
Then flee the country just to be sure.
I got estimated costs of $56.something billions. Usually ~$100/month. My heart rate currently still sits at around 160 bpm. Motherfuckers.
You really should get your spending under control. Unfortunately unless you become one of the real people class through a large lottery, it sounds like you owe the rest of your life to AWS until you can pay off your debts for being so careless.
someones been dognfooding the AI too muxh
aws becoming first quadrillion dollars company
invoicemaxxing
I mean 3 billion USD is clearly too big to fail, so I wouldn't worry too much
Fast and loose with billing data. Welcome to the new Amazon.
Literal basic fucking math, Amazon.
You don't need hours to recalculate billing. You need to go back to basic algebra.
Anyone using Amazon and dealing with this should be moving away from their services because something this basic going wrong means the correct people are not at the helm of the ship.
a billion here, a billion there, sooner or later it adds up
brb, off to buy some AMZN
this counts towards ARR right? would be stupid not to
Uhh class action incoming? $34,909,930,575.09 over here.

In unrelated news I just hit my target for S3 revenue (projections). Promotion meeting locked in for tomorrow (fastest in the companies history), looking forward to being a L2 Amazon employee.

Don't worry. With so much debt banks start to treat you with respect. /S
Honestly, I would worry more about estimated billing that seems plausible in general, but is way to high for you personally. These ridiculous amounts? Not so much.
Clearly they weren't tokenmaxxing hard enough or weren't using the latest models /s.
What an absolute joke. All just so that line goes up. As if their fees weren't high enough vs. alternatives (especially egress). And I'm sure the pro-AI crowd will keep saying we're luddites for not loving this clearly revolutionary and disruptive tech.
Of course, this is only considered an error if the account is unable to pay. /s

I just invested ALL my money into AMZN cause next earnings report will be FIRE :)
