How and Why AWS bill comes after i suspended the account

Question

Could you please help me about the Billing system of AWS. I suspended my aws account last month that time my account bill is $900 but today I got the message that your aws account bill is $1200 . How it is possible

Answer 1

Amazon does not have a "suspend" account. You can close an account. If you are using resources in AWS you will be charged for them.

If you feel that your bill is in error, contact Amazon Billing department. Go to this page and select "I'm an AWS customer and I'm looking for billing or account support". In my experience they are very easy to work with.

AWS does have a suspended state. This is usually for non payment of outstanding invoices

Answer 2

While your account is suspended, you will be unable to access your data stored in the AWS services or your running Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, and any API call you make to the AWS services will fail. However, we will not immediately delete your data stored in the AWS services or terminate your running Amazon EC2 instances as a result of the suspension. Applicable data storage and usage charges will continue to accrue.
 

This is the AWS official statement for accounts that are suspended due to non-payment
