Amazon Aws is charging for free tier [closed]
I have got 75 dollars and 1 years of free tier uses in amazon awseducate. it is called amazon aws student starter pack. I created only one ec2 instance and one rds in free tier. But Amazon is charging from the 75 dollars every day. Even I cannot issue a support ticket. Because student account can't create a support ticket.

Not really a question here but you should check to see if you aren’t getting charged for additional tack ons, like load balancing etc

If you're being charged, then it isn't really a free tier, right?

Having the free tier doesn't mean everything is free - there are certain products, and certain levels of products that are free - if you use products or services outside the designated free options, you will need to pay - sometimes a lot.
For example, you can use 1 free ec2 instance of the t2 type free for a year (I believe its only the t2-small).
If you spin up a d2.8xlarge instead, and leave it running all year you will have a bill of almost $50K - so pay attention to what is free and what you are using; check your bill often, and contact aws support on their support forums or at the /r/aws forum on reddit.

Also check for space being used, there is a limit to that in free tier. Usage above limitation adds on to bill.

when I was creating an instance it was telling 30 gb disk space is free with those instances. but I cant know which purpose I was billed for because my iam role didn't give the permission.

@FahimAbrar Then you need to login with the root account to check your bill. The root user can also grant billing access to IAM users.
