AI agents and AWS spending limits: the 90-day deletion rule

说明与用途

在 AWS 中实施项目级支出限制可防止无节制的费用和数据丢失，但需要明确的所有权和备份策略。

问题

AI agents can deploy services that continue to accrue costs after deployment, risking runaway spending and potential data loss if spending limits are not managed.

结果

Implementing project‑level spend limits with clear ownership and backup procedures prevents accidental over‑spending and protects data from the 90‑day deletion rule.

工作流

• 1. Create a project in AWS Builder Experience. 2. Set a spend limit (requires paid plan). 3. Monitor notifications at 50%, 75%, 90% or forecast. 4. When limit reached, AWS pauses the project and stops resources. 5. Within 90 days, reactivate by increasing the limit or manually restarting resources. 6. If no action, AWS permanently deletes project data.
• 7. Maintain backups outside the project to avoid data loss.

证据

AWS pauses your project and stops all resources. Your data is preserved.

来源

If you take no action within 90 days of your project being paused, AWS permanently deletes your project data.

来源

The minimum permitted value is the greater of $20 or a conservative estimate of likely spend.

来源

AWS sends notifications at 50%, 75% and 90% of the limit, or when the forecast indicates you will reach it within the next 10 days.
