AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 759

A user has enabled the CloudWatch alarm to estimate the usage charges. If the user disables moni-toring of the estimated charges but does not delete the billing alert from the AWS account, what will happen?

Answer options

• A. The user cannot edit the existing billing alarm.
• B. The data collection on estimated charges is stopped.
• C. It is not possible to disable monitoring of the estimated charges.
• D. AWS will stop sending the billing alerts to the user.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Once the monitoring of estimated charges is enabled in the AWS Billing preferences, it cannot be deactivated. While users can delete individual CloudWatch billing alarms to stop alerts, the underlying collection of estimated charge metrics remains permanently enabled.
