Amazon AWS EBS on an empty instance creates a billion I / O requests per month, how to solve?

Question

Amazon Web Services

Hello!
I created a test account for Amazon AWS one topic at a time on Habré, launched an instance, climbed through the settings and safely forgot. Because I didn’t even worry about the time of free use for a year (I created it in November), and today $ 242 was deducted from the card! I started digging where the write-off came from, looked at the statistics, and there I have
$0.059 per 1 million I / O requests - EU (Frankfurt) 4,111,181,316 IOs, this is only for March on a completely empty "server", while neither the domain nor any data was tied there.
Wrote to support, no response yet.
What is the best way to communicate with support and how to prove that I did not use these resources? (In fact, I don’t need aws)
Maybe someone faced such a problem, maybe they had glitches with measuring resource consumption?

Answer 1

I myself had such a problem, though for $19.
There were no instances, but ELB was still running. HealthCheck services and external pings were the problem. Killed ELB and happiness came.
Try to write a claim to the support that they say Free-tier is over, but I'm a newbie and didn't notice.

Answer 2

Well, you yourself are responsible for your VPS and their resources.
It is logical that your vpska was broken and something is being done on it, I think it’s not difficult to go to it and check it out.

Answer 3

Look at what is running (started), most likely it was broken.
