High AWS RDS Cost from last month

Question

Hi,

I am seeing high AWS RDS cost from last month. Nothing has changed i just added one account, which also deleted last week but not seeing any decline for AWS cost. Any suggestion ?

Answer

If you have old MySQL or Postgres versions, this could be due to extented support. The price of extended support does vary from $0.10/vcpu/hour upto $0.21/vcpu/hour (depending on region) that is a significant uplift on top of RDS compute (cpu/mem) pricing.
