What will happen if the Free Tier usage period expires or if the application use exceeds the Free Tier usage limits?
The company will be charged the standard pay-as-you-go service rates for the usage that exceeds the Free Tier usage.
AWS Support will contact the company to set up standard service charges.
The company will be charged for the services it consumed during the Free Tier period, plus additional charges for service consumption after the Free Tier period.
The company’s AWS account will be frozen and can be restarted after a payment plan is established.
Explanations:
Once the Free Tier usage period expires or usage exceeds the limits, the company is charged at standard pay-as-you-go rates for any additional usage.
AWS does not proactively contact customers to set up standard service charges; it automatically applies charges based on usage.
The company is only charged for usage that exceeds the Free Tier limits after the period expires; charges are not retroactive for the Free Tier period itself.
AWS accounts are not frozen due to exceeding Free Tier limits; services continue with standard charges applicable.
