I am getting billed for AWS Elastic IPs

Question

EC2 pricing page says that Elastic IP addresses are free and I got the bill and I am being charged for Elastic IP Addresses.

Answer 1

1. Do you have the Elastic IP address is associated with an EC2 instance ?
2. if yes, is the instance associated with the Elastic IP address is running.
3. if yes, do the associated instance has only one Elastic IP address attached to it.

If any of the above is false you would be charged for it. The # of IP address is finite and this is a kind of fair use policy.
