Do I currently have free tier / will this be covered by free tier

0

Hello,

I am wondering if I currently have free tier? I created this account about 3-4 months ago (if I remember correctly). I'm creating an RDS database and at the end of creating it, It showed two boxes titled "Estimated Monthly Costs". One says ~$15 and the other talks about free tier.

Hello.

If your account has been created for less than a year, there is a free tier.

Additionally, RDS is eligible for the free tier when launched with the specifications listed in the document below.
I think the charges listed in your image are the charges that will be incurred after the free tier expires.
https://aws.amazon.com/rds/free/?nc1=h_ls

  • 750 hours of Amazon RDS Single-AZ db.t2.micro, db.t3.micro, and db.t4g.micro Instances usage running MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL databases each month. If running more than one instance, usage is aggregated across instance classes.
  • 750 hours of Amazon RDS Single-AZ db.t2.micro Instance usage running SQL Server (running SQL Server Express Edition) each month.
  • 20 GB of General Purpose SSD (gp2) storage per month.
  • Free backup storage up to 100% of the total provisioned storage size of your active DB instances for a region.*

If you select "Free tier" when starting RDS, the free tier specs will be automatically selected.
