Aaryan Bansal (@NotUnHackable) reported@awscloud that issue was happening since yesterday dude. why tf did it take so much time?

Joy | 🔥 (@JoyKingdomx) reportedAs we all know, cloud outages are not a new topic here. But what is changed is how many products now depend on the same infrastructure. A few years ago, an AWS outage mostly affected AWS customers. Where today one infrastructure issue can ripple across AI apps, APIs, developer tools, streaming platforms and payment services. That is the downside of concentration. We have seen @awscloud outages impact millions. We have also seen @OpenAI outages pause production apps because entire inference pipelines depended on a single provider. It is not the outage that matters - it is the dependency behind it. That is the reason why decentralized compute makes sense. Instead of relying on a single cloud or region, @ionet distributes compute across a global network of GPUs in 138+ countries. No infrastructure is immune to failure, the goal is to ensure one failure does not become everyone's failure.

Daniël (@dvtoever) reported@marcelocantos @awscloud Totally agree. I my took hours for the stress to leave my body. I tought i was hacked and my services were abused. They didnt bother to take down the billing page temporarily with a warning or sent a follow up mail pointing out this bug.I am going to close down my account as well
-
AntDracula (@ant_dracula) reported@kankerhoerrrrrr @marcelocantos @awscloud "skill issue" is a term only unironically used by losers and AI bots. I can take a guess at which one you are.
-
M (@mdw864) reported@AWSSupport Either that or ask me to login, which I keep telling you I cannot login. It has nothing to do with 2FA. That is not the issue.

Felipe Rojas (@FipeRojas) reported@AWSSupport as root admin of a management account in Chile, your system failed to issue our statutory VAT invoice despite our tax settings were configurated according to your mails and RUT verified since june 2. Already 4 open cases without answer. ID 178524912400362

Edward Donner (@edwarddonner) reported@okko @awscloud @AWSSupport That's why it's opt in. Netflix would likely not opt in and be fine with the risk. You could join them if you wish. I would prefer to face an outage if AWS has another billing disaster than have unbounded exposure.
-
Armando J. Perez-Carreno (@perezcarreno) reported@ngriffin_uk @awscloud The problem wasn’t only the billing page. Many people received billing usage alerts with tremendous spend. In our case, it was additionally frustrating because we couldn’t log in due to an MFA bug while we were about to board a ten hour flight. Some of us do care.

🔥 PHOENIXX🔥 (@AIPulse0) reportedAMAZON AWS PAYS $127K/MO FOR CLOUD COMPUTING. SERGEY BOUGHT CHEAP SERVER RACK + CLAUDE AI. MAKES $318K Pause at 0:11 — rack with 40+ servers. Every indicator glows green. This is local computing. Zero latency. Zero cloud bills. Sergey, 35, Ukraine. Was AWS architect, $7,200/month. Understands: companies pay Amazon millions, but they can do same calculations locally. Bought used server rack for $4,800. Installed Claude AI for local processing. 78 companies pay $4,077/month each instead of $12K on AWS. Amazon offered $4,200,000. Sergey said: "You profit from dependency. I profit from freedom." Why — in video.

₽ⱤΞΞ₮Ⱨ△M ₭Ɏ△И△M (@pkyanam) reported@yellow_fellowz @awscloud @emm3122 AWS replied to me saying they’re aware of this issue
-
Santhosh (@santhoshv) reported@PinokioSystem @AWSSupport But again health dashboard says forcast, but usage itself showing.. how come this is not explained correctly. Another point is it's the billing and money not any service down, so billing page itself could have add some alert
-
Nil (@slowalgorithm) reported@awscloud How are you planning to compensate all your customers who panicked and started deleting resources since the email was legit and there was not a second email notifying of the issue. Your support bot itself claimed the expenses were legit.
-
Gabriel (@doktorgphd) reported@awscloud wow really??? i had to search x for the reason?? not even an email?? I saw the email sent yesterday about the cost alert and I spend the last hour trying to work out what is going on because it looks very legit and I only find out it was an error on x! Just had to send an email!!
-
Steven Coburn (@pcgamer11) reported@PlayStation We can't play the open beta rn because PSN IS DOWN. Yes, it uses/runs on @awscloud but you could at least ACKNOWLEDGE the issue!!!
-
jd42 (@jdonovan42) reported@DarioCpx Pls recalculate considering the massive clouds the AI revs sit on. Each $1 in AI attaches $1.5-2.5X attached cloud biz and your down to 30-45% of revs. Then as open wgt models gain apply the 100% revenue retention vs. 60% on frontier and look at EBITDA % from frontier is 10-15% max. But nice try ;) No doubt Anthropic and OpenAI both stimulate demand for Amazon AWS. It creates 2x the cloud biz than it does the direct AI biz. So why not count the full picture of things vs just the #'s that fit one narrative.
-
AntDracula (@ant_dracula) reported@_LeadPoisoning_ @awscloud That’s because it’s never up long enough to generate an error
-
Fikri Firdaus (@fikrfird) reported@awscloud This really isn’t something to joke about. A false billing alert at this scale can cause genuine panic and even serious health consequences. Some users may have rotated credentials, shut down workloads, or deleted services because they feared their accounts had been compromised.
-
Abdul Rauf (@armujahid) reported@miserer3_mei @AWSSupport It's a known issue that they are already checking
-
Robert Culver (@senorculver) reported@awscloud Wow, that’s it, no explanation? No, and for your trouble, and extra work and panic, a free month of service or anything. Just our bad, see you next month?
-
M (@mdw864) reported@awscloud can you PLEASE answer me? You’ve just turned off my Business because you will not help me. I need you to stop charging me. Do not tell me to login because I do not know the email address that was used to open the account. All I know is my bank account is being charged

Sai Manikanta ☕ (@rebuiltWithSai) reportedDay 19 of #JobSwitchUntilPlaced 🚀 Today's progress: ✅ Started a new Microservices project by building the User Service ✅ Solved 2 DSA problems ✅ Learned about Blob Storage (Amazon S3) One step closer to building production-ready, scalable backend systems.💪 #BuildInPublic

barney (@Southclaws) reported@jonny_castles @awscloud I am seeing this too, ECR and S3 in eu-west-1, lots of "service unavailable" errors

Payal (@payal_codes) reportedDay 1 : "How to Scale an App to 10 Million Users on AWS" If I have to design a system for 10 million users, I won't build everything on Day 1 because it will add unnecessary complexity and cost. I'll start simple with one application server and one database. As traffic grows, if the server starts reaching its CPU, memory, or storage limits, I'll first scale vertically by moving to a bigger instance. Once that is not enough, I'll separate the backend and database so both can scale independently. To avoid a single point of failure, I'll deploy the application across multiple Availability Zones and put a Load Balancer in front so if one server or AZ goes down, traffic is automatically routed to healthy servers. As the number of users keeps increasing, I'll make my application stateless by storing sessions in Redis. This allows me to add multiple application servers behind the Load Balancer and scale horizontally. If my database starts getting overloaded with reads, I'll use Redis to cache frequently accessed data and add read replicas to distribute read traffic. For static assets like images, CSS, and JavaScript, I'll store them in Amazon S3 and serve them through CloudFront so requests don't keep hitting my application servers. If traffic suddenly spikes during sales or events, I'll enable Auto Scaling with CloudWatch metrics so AWS automatically adds or removes servers based on demand. As the application becomes larger, I'll split the monolith into microservices. This allows each service, like authentication, payments, or notifications, to scale independently instead of scaling the entire application. If the database becomes the bottleneck, especially for write operations, I'll use sharding or federation depending on the data and business requirements. Finally, when users are spread across the world, I'll deploy the application in multiple AWS Regions to reduce latency and improve availability. My approach is always the same: find the bottleneck, solve that bottleneck, and only introduce more complexity when the current architecture can no longer handle the traffic.

Matthew (@OneShotCaller) reported@CalebChamberla6 It’s an AWS billing error (see @awscloud)
-
Ing. Mario Varón M.Sc (@ma_varon_col) reported@AWSSupport BTW, a follow up email to everyone alerting of your ****** bug would be awesome. That's the least you can do ... Had to take down everything I have in production right now and I'm not certain enough of your competence to resume it once again...
-
Keith Townsend (@CTOAdvisor) reportedI spent over $120 in @awscloud so far this month. Most of it has been on GPU instances and Xeon 6. This is the most I've spent since I've had a long-running VM as a web app server a few years ago.
-
DeeDee Armstrong (@deedeeafton) reported@t1097s @larunachalam @awscloud Tyler, are you an AWS actual customer, or just someone who thinks real people should “chill out” when a vendor causes actual business trouble and then jokes about it?
-
Nilesh (@nile3h) reportedReached out to @awscloud team yesterday related to billing issues wrt AWS partners, no replies Can anyone help?
-
devastatindave.eth (@NftCelestials) reported@awscloud totally avoidable error caused by reliance on unskilled h1b scabs ya'll will learn eventually
-
Aaron Spiel 📣 (@SpielAaron) reported@AWSSupport It's not estimated. To quote the horrific emails you're sending people: "The month actual cost associated with this...". And yes, maybe it's easier to laugh and realise it's an error when you're potentially being billed $1,000,000,000. But when it's $80K, it feels scarily real.
