Follow this link and scroll down to "Charges by service" It'll give you the charges by region. You can then open a separate tab and iterate through targeted service / region pairs to terminate resources 1 by 1 https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/billing/home?region=us-east-1#/bills

oh yikes, I literally have nightmares about this every time I build on aws or google. I'm always scared that somehow I have a stupid recursive loop or vulnerable system and i'm going to wake up thousands in debt 🤣 . Heres a little degen to help offset that cost 100 $DEGEN 🤣

Make sure you go through each region top right hand corner in your account. You probably set a test run up in West coast or something.
