Hey everyone! I'm a first-year university student and recently signed up for AWS to check it out. While exploring, I accidentally launched the Amazon Managed Blockchain: Starter Edition. I didn't realize it would continue running and rack up costs. Now I've discovered a charge of over $160 USD primarily from member and node fees, which is pretty shocking since I didn't actually use the service—just idle hours. I've deleted the service and submitted a billing support case to AWS, mentioning my student status and the lack of usage. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Am I likely to get a refund?

Hey! You did the right thing by contacting AWS billing support. They usually handle situations like this and often issue refunds if it's a genuine mistake, especially for students. Just be patient while they review your case. Wishing you luck!
