how do i know when my aws free tier expires

 You know your AWS Free Tier expires by checking the Billing and Cost Management Console for your account's 12-month activation date, monitoring the "Your AWS Free Tier expires soon" email alerts, or reviewing the AWS Cost Explorer for usage details and credit status. The Free Tier benefits usually end 12 months from your account activation date, after which you'll be billed for any active resources. 

Key Methods to Check Expiry
  1. AWS Billing Dashboard (Best Method):
    • Sign in to the AWS Management Console.
    • Navigate to Billing & Cost Management > Cost Analysis > Free Tier.
    • This page shows your usage, remaining credits, and the date your 12-month period ends.
  2. Email Notifications:
    • AWS sends automated emails in the last month of your Free Tier period with the subject line "Your AWS Free Tier expires soon," alerting you to take action.
  3. Account Creation Date:
    • In the Billing Console, find the oldest date in your bill periods; 12 months from that date is your Free Tier end date. 
What Happens When It Ends?
  • Pay-as-you-go: You'll automatically be charged standard rates for any services you continue to use.
  • Prevent Charges: Sign in to the console, check the Free Tier page, and terminate any unwanted resources (like EC2 instances, S3 buckets) in all regions to avoid unexpected bills.

What actually happens when you destroy a German wasp (yellowjacket) nest on a conifer

 Short answer: you’ll trigger a highly aggressive, painful, and potentially dangerous swarm—and if the queen survives, the colony can rebuild nearby, especially in our mild climate.

Immediate defensive swarm. Social wasps coordinate nest defence using alarm pheromones from the venom sac; when the nest is struck, those chemicals “call” workers to attack the intruder. Expect many wasps to pour out and sting repeatedly. [entomology...fe.uky.edu], [pdfs.seman...cholar.org]

Multiple stings + pursuit. German yellowjackets (Vespula germanica) sting repeatedly and may chase for long distances when defending the nest—this is a serious health risk, especially if anyone has allergies. [extension.psu.edu]

Alarm scent can linger. Marking pheromones can remain on targets/substrates and keep drawing attacks for hours, so even “after” you knock it down the area can stay hot. [ars.usda.gov]

Colony outcome depends on the queen. If the queen dies, the colony collapses; if she survives, workers can rebuild a new nest nearby (they generally don’t reuse the torn one). In warmer conditions, nests can even become multi‑season (perennial) and grow very large. [edis.ifas.ufl.edu], [rnz.co.nz], [auckland.ac.nz]

Tree impact is minimal; your risk isn’t. The nest is papery (chewed wood + saliva) attached to branches; knocking it off seldom harms the conifer—but accessing and removing a large aerial nest safely is difficult and often requires specialist gear

Why you shouldn’t DIY‑destroy it (summary)


Coordinated chemical alarm ⇒ mass attack (not like bees; wasps can sting many times). [entomology...fe.uky.edu], [extension.psu.edu]

Risk stays high for hours due to lingering alarm marks. [ars.usda.gov]

Outcome is uncertain: if the queen survives, you may get a new nest nearby, and in warm years colonies can persist across season
