Free Tier

July 2025 Transition

AWS transitioned from time-based to credit-based free tier on July 15, 2025:

Account Type Model Details
Legacy (before July 15, 2025) 12-month free tier + Always Free Original offers, complete naturally. Always Free services available.
Free Plan (after July 15, 2025) $200 credits for 6 months No charges during free period. Upgrade to Paid Plan after. Always Free services available.
Paid Plan (after July 15, 2025) $200 credits for 6 months Charged for usage exceeding credits. Always Free services available.

~30 Always Free services remain available indefinitely for all account types.

Recommended Workflow

  1. First: aws freetier get-account-plan-state — determine account type and eligibility
  2. Then: aws freetier get-free-tier-usage — check current usage for active services

Critical Rules

  • NEVER cite specific free tier limits from training data — offers changed July 15, 2025 and vary by account type
  • getFreeTierUsage only returns services with usage > 0. Missing service means either no free tier offer exists OR customer hasn't used it yet.
  • For questions about available offers before using a service, direct to https://aws.amazon.com/free/
  • Legacy accounts: former 12-month services stop appearing after their period expires
  • Free Plan/Paid Plan: $200 credit replaced 12-month offers. Always Free services tracked individually.
