I was first time user of AWS service and just created redshift and then did not close it so and end of the month bill was 5 lakhs and now I have deleted the amazon account will I be charged still

 That sounds like a very stressful situation — let's clarify what happens next.

Key Points:

  1. If You Deleted Your AWS Account Properly:

    • If you closed the AWS account (not just deleted services), Amazon should not charge you further.

    • When an AWS account is officially closed, AWS:

      • Stops all resources.

      • Finalizes the billing.

      • Sends a final invoice (which may include unpaid charges).

  2. However, You Are Still Liable for Existing Charges:

    • Even if you've closed the account, you are still responsible for charges incurred before the closure.

    • If the Redshift cluster ran for a long time (especially a provisioned cluster), that could easily result in a very high bill.

  3. What You Can Do Now:

    • Contact AWS Support Immediately (via the AWS Support Center). Even with a closed account, you can contact them.

    • Explain your situation clearly — mention that you're a first-time user and this was unintentional.

    • AWS has been known to waive or reduce charges for first-time mistakes, especially if:

      • The usage was unintentional.

      • You're not a business or enterprise customer.

      • It’s a one-time issue.

  4. If the Account Was Not Closed Properly:

    • If you simply deleted Redshift but did not close the account, AWS might keep charging for other services, or even for Redshift if any storage (e.g. snapshots) was left behind.

    • Double-check that the account is fully closed.
