If you purchase a Capacity Reservation and do not use it, are you still billed? What is the billing model for unused reserved capacity?

Question

Anirudh C S · Accepted Answer

Yes, you are still billed for unused reserved capacity. You pay for the capacity reservation for as long as it remains provisioned in your account, regardless of whether you launch any instances into it. The billing starts as soon as the Capacity Reservation is successfully provisioned. The cost is based on the attributes you specified for the reservation (instance type, Availability Zone, platform, and tenancy).

Yes, even if you purchase a capacity reservation and don't use it, you will still be billed for the reserved capacity, as you are essentially paying for the guarantee of availability, not just the usage.You pay for the reserved capacity, not just the actual usage, meaning you are billed even if the reserved capacity is idle.
