Documentation
If you subscribed to the Pro, Pro+, or Power tier, you might consider enabling overages. Overages are additional fees that AWS charges when you exceed the predetermined usage limits or allowances specified in your plan.
Overages are disabled by default.
Info
You can't incur overages at the Kiro Free tier. When you hit a usage limit, you must wait until the next month for your quotas to reset.
Why allow overages?
Allowing overages rather than disabling them completely has the following advantages:
- Uninterrupted productivity – When you exceed your plan's quota, you can continue working without disruption. The productivity benefits of continued access might outweigh the additional costs.
- Better usage pattern insights – You get more accurate data about your actual usage, which helps in right-sizing future subscription needs.
Enabling overage charges in Kiro
Use the following instructions to enable overage charges for a social account or an AWS Builder ID account.
- In Kiro, select the profile icon.
- In Overages, toggle on the associated switch.
