Access Denied on Cost Explorer API | Missing ce:* IAM permissions | Attach the AWSBillingReadOnlyAccess managed policy to the IAM user/role |
No billing data available | Account is too new or cost export not enabled | Enable Cost Explorer (takes 24h to populate) or set up CUR (Cost and Usage Report) |
Rightsizing recommendation breaks workload | Instance too small for peak load | Base sizing on P95 utilization, not average; keep a 20% headroom buffer |
Spot instance terminated mid-job | Spot capacity reclaimed by provider | Use spot fleet with diversified instance types and implement checkpointing |
Budget alert not firing | SNS topic or notification channel misconfigured | Verify SNS subscription is confirmed and test with a low threshold |
