"AWS is waiving all usage-related charges in the ME-CENTRAL-1 Region for March 2026. This waiver applies automatically to your account(s), and no action is required from you."
"You will not see any March 2026 usage for the ME-CENTRAL-1 Region in your Cost and Usage Report or Cost Explorer once processing is complete."
"The bill is the only inventory you've got. For most organizations, the AWS bill isn't just an invoice. It's the canonical record of what infrastructure exists."
AWS announced a waiver of all usage-related charges for the ME-CENTRAL-1 Region for March 2026, automatically applied to accounts. The communication lacked details about the Iranian drone strikes that damaged the region's infrastructure, the services affected, or the prolonged outages experienced by customers. Notably, AWS will also erase billing and inventory data for that month, which is critical for organizations tracking their cloud infrastructure. This decision raises concerns about the implications for companies relying on accurate billing records as their source of truth.
