Why do I see "per GB - next 450 TB / month of storage used" in the bill when the total S3 buckets size are only about 500 GB?


I have several S3 buckets in my AWS account.

The total size of them is about 500GB.

Why do I see per GB - next 450 TB / month of storage used in my bill?

enter image description here

The total size of the buckets in the APN1 region is below 1TB, which is far smaller than 50TB.

I followed this post to use aws s3 ls --summarize --human-readable --recursive s3://<bucket_name> to calculate all the sizes of the buckets.

Here's the article that tells you how to convert usage byte-hours to billed GB-months.


Solution

  • My company use AWS service through ecloudvalley.

    Ecloudvalley has an AWS organization that includes many AWS accounts.

    I see per GB - next 450 TB / month of storage used because the total S3 disk space used by the AWS accounts under the AWS organization is more than 50TB.
