Can't delete static IP on Lightsail

0

ReleaseStaticlp[us-east-1] The specified Static IP address cannot be released from your account. A reverse DNS record may be associated with the Static IP address. To unlock the address, contact AWS Support.

  • Looks like it will work... I got a response on may4... Today is may 7th and it still locked... lets wait util may 13th. It seems it may take a full week to propagate.

    "We have removed the reverse DNS record you requested!

    Please note that propagation of this update to DNSBL services that Amazon works with may take up to a week."

Hi,

Please contact AWS Support under the free support plan to get the rDNS record reset after which you will be able to release the static IP.

Refer - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/amazon-lightsail-configuring-reverse-dns.html

If you later want to delete the static IP address from your Lightsail account, you must submit a request to AWS Support to remove the reverse DNS configuration. After the reverse DNS configuration is removed, you can delete the static IP address from your Lightsail account

Thanks.

  • Just tried that. I got, "Technical support is unavailable under the Basic Support plan"

  • You could create the case under the Account and billing category either with Account and Other Account Issues category OR Billing and Other Billing Questions category

  • It did not work! Even that I got a message that would "We have removed the reverse DNS record you requested! Please note that propagation of this update to DNSBL services that Amazon works with may take up to a week." It has passed 10 days and I am still not able to delete de IP address.
