Why the **** is the free tier cancellation made to be so PITA?

-1

Firstly, sorry for the not-so-constructive language: Been wrestling with this for the past 2 hours, my frustration levels are trough the roof and I'm currently inches away from turning my apartment to flat out rage room.

Soo - I got an email that my free tier is expiring - cool I'll just head there and cancel my services before anything get billed... But apparently someone decided that rather then giving you a simple listing where you could just terminate all your services they make you wonder aimlessly around the places trying to find all your services - hoping you miss some just so they can slap you with a bill "HAHAA *****! you missed this one! enter nelson haha"

In the "Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL charges by service" it shows following:

Data Transfer
USD 0.00

EU (Frankfurt)
USD 0.00

AWS Data Transfer EUC1-EU-AWS-Out-Bytes
USD 0.00
$0.02 per GB - EU (Germany) data transfer to EU (Ireland)
0 GB	USD 0.00

Bandwidth
USD 0.00
$0.000 per GB - data transfer out under the monthly global free tier
0 GB	USD 0.00

US East (N. Virginia)
USD 0.00

AWS Data Transfer USE1-EU-AWS-Out-Bytes
USD 0.00
$0.02 per GB - US East (Northern Virginia) data transfer to EU (Ireland)
0 GB	USD 0.00

Simple Storage Service
USD 0.00

EU (Frankfurt)
USD 0.00

US East (N. Virginia)
USD 0.00

Amazon Simple Storage Service Requests-Tier1
USD 0.00
$0.00 per request - PUT, COPY, POST, or LIST requests under the monthly global free tier

I went to eu-central-1 and terminated my S3 bucket, on Virginia there were none.

But, then when I follow this guide: https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/check-for-active-resources - in the end there is section "Confirm you have terminated all active resources"

I got to tag editor, select all regions and all types and it returns me a list of fracking 150 resources all across the globe ?! I mean what the actual duck?

The resources are:

dopt-0ec2e6c1e6477db59	(not tagged)	EC2	DHCPOptions	ap-northeast-1	
-
igw-0564ac3ae9fde2808	(not tagged)	EC2	InternetGateway	ap-northeast-1	
-

-
vpc-0ba87727076e2388c	(not tagged)	EC2	VPC	ap-northeast-1

Which then repeat for every single instance ?!

I realy fricking hate this thing, and all the bad things I currently wish to happen for the human filth making this so damn difficult are sure to brake some community guidelines so ill just skip ranting them here...

You do realize that there's a lot of "free" and "default" resources deployed in various regions when you create an account, yeah?

If you really want to go this route, take a look at AWS nuke.

That's the thing - currently I have 4 different "guides" from AWS on how to check you don't have active resources that could cause billing - and all of them give different results so I truly are confused which could cause billing to occur and which not. Especially when there is a disclaimer that even fully removing your account won't stop the billing from occurring if there is something you've missed - which is just plain stupid imo

But, huuge thanks for the AWS nuke - that seems like something that would resolve all my issues 👍 Only if AWS would've build in a simple button "Nuke all your resources" so you wouldn't need to rely 3rd party options...
