No, if you purchase a Reserved Instance (RI) and then accidentally terminate the EC2 instance, you will not lose the reservation and its benefits.A Reserved Instance is a commitment to pay for compute capacity for a specific period, regardless of whether you use it or not. It's a discount on the on-demand price, not a reservation of a particular instance.
