AWS Billing and Cost Management Console adds new recommended actions

Starting today, customers can view 6 new recommended actions added to the existing list of 15 recommended actions available in the AWS Billing and Cost Management Console recommended actions widget. These recommended actions include notifications across AWS payments and tax settings, such as an expired payment method or if tax registration numbers are invalid. All recommended actions are now categorized as critical, advisory, or informational, enabling customers to prioritize and timely resolve any identified billing issues.

Using recommended actions on the AWS Billing and Cost Management Console, customers can quickly learn of and mitigate AWS billing or payment issues, identify cost saving opportunities, and avoid surprises by acting on time-sensitive information. Each recommended action includes a specific call-to-action, which allows customers to optimize their AWS spend and prevent any disruptions to their AWS account and billing status. Customers can access these recommendation actions through the recommended actions widget in the console or via a new public API at no additional cost.

The recommended actions widget and API is available in all AWS commercial regions, excluding China. To get started with new recommended actions, visit the recommended actions widgets on the AWS Billing and Cost Management Console.
