Will I be charged after closing my account for not stopping EC2 instance?

Does AWS still charge me for EC2 instance which I forget to terminate and closed my free tier account directly? Also, will AWS automatically deduct money from my saved debit card if there are charges?

  • most probably yes, but if you say you closed your account you mean, logout? or deleted your account, I believe deleted account will have no running instances

"When you close your AWS account, the following things happen:



Your access to the AWS Management Console for the closed AWS account is restricted. You can still sign in to your AWS account to view your past billing information and access AWS Support during the Post-Closure Period. You can't access any other AWS services or start any new AWS services in the closed account.



Any remaining content and unterminated AWS services in your AWS account is deleted and terminated after the Post-Closure Period. You should retrieve all content from your AWS account before closing your AWS account. For instructions on how to retrieve your content, see documentation for that service.



Billing for on-demand charges stops, but you're billed for any usage that has accrued up until the time you closed your account, and you're charged for that usage at the beginning of the next month. In addition, if you purchased any subscriptions with ongoing payment obligations, you might continue to be charged for them after your account is closed."
