I called AWS and they said this has been reported by multiple people and they still don't know how many accounts are affected, did this happen to you too?
Yes, just saw this too. This is showing across all service types for me. Anything that is billed based on a unit of time has exactly 2x the consumption than has happened so far month-to-date.
Lol will have to check for a coe
I had an AWS account I wasn't using, but I didn't want to get surprised by any bills, so I set an alert to let me know when the bill was more than $0.
Sometime later the alert went off, so I anxiously jumped into AWS to see what kind of disaster was happening, and found that I got billed a few cents... for the alert itself.
I closed it altogether after that. It's better for my sanity to just use a new email address and sign up again than to worry about surprise bills.
EDIT: It's entirely possible that I set it up wrong, or set up the wrong thing, but in any case an alert was all I was trying to do, and as far as I could tell that's what happened. I must admit I rage-quit rather than investigate too deeply.

Is there a word for cloud billing anxiety yet? I had an AWS account I wasn't using, but I didn't want to get surprised by any bills, so I set an alert to let me know when the bill was more than $0.

They charge for billing alerts? I've never used AWS in production and I suppose it's a miniscule cost, but, wow, that seems really pedantic to charge for that.
I got an alert for crossing a billing threshold only five hours ago, as expected for this time of the month; now the total is just under double that.
It's quite an intriguing error. I'm struggling to imagine how it might have come about.
