Same here. It's typical - Chris goes on holiday, and the hamsters break the email system.

We are having some issues migrating our Newsletter services to a new server. Unfortunately, something about Windows 2016 is causing a lot of errors and retries and hence multiple copies.
I've fired up the old server and unfortunately, you will probably get yet another copy.

Hi
I have been charged for using your RDS start stop service without informing about the charges in prior to my AWS account kindly check and revert asap.

As additional information... he is complaining about in this tip/trick
Just in case CP Staff want to check out.

Almost certainly nothing to do with this site - your other message is posted in the correct place: Start/Stop RDS instances on schedule[^]
@Sean-Ewington Sean, do you want to have a look, in the absence of Chris?

Disclaimer: I am not a CP employee.
I don't think CP can help you with this. You can check what you are charged for in your AWS account. The tip you are referring to uses AWS lambda which is free till a limit. I highly doubt you would have crossed that limit. Similar pricing set up is for cloudwatch as well.
Only thing I can guess here is that you created a new RDS service with reserved DB instance which you got charged for for the first month.

@Sean-Ewington
Sean, I don't know who deleted the original message, but it's back, after a quick trip through moderation: Start/Stop RDS instances on schedule[^] - if true, I suspect it's his fault but he doesn't seem to want to leave it. Can you have a word?

So many things that are astonishing about all this.
- That he deployed code to a commercial cloud vendor without understanding the ramifications.
- That his work's IT or accounting team allowed that to happen.
- His expectation that Chris would wire him the $186.
- How he's used an anonymous username, asking for unrealistic support.

Trouble is, that's the way it's going: instead of thinking about how to do something, the modern developers just grab code from the internet at random, chuck it in the app, hit it with a hammer until it fits (or at least doesn't fall out when you compile it), and release it without any idea of what it's doing, much less how.
And then they are surprised when it backfires on them.

I hate to say this, but today, sites like SO and CP often do as much damage as they do good to the IT ecosystem.

No, I don't think so, I think it's an expectations problem, combined with poorly trained educators. The generation has an expectation that they can master computers easily because they can work a phone, and the educators don't know how development works (and aren't about to put the work in to find out when they can just follow a book).
So the "developers" know no better and assume that's how you do it: find a chunk of code and bash it about a bit. CP generally doesn't help them to do that (though for SO that is pretty much it's raison d'être) - we do try to educate and explain, rather than just pass on code fragments. Or I do, anyway!

Bash it about a bit? That's rather optimistic. Most of them give up when they can't find a "perfect solution" after 30 seconds on Google.
But I suppose that's marginally better than the ones who can't find Google in the first place...

Cloud platforms do make it really easy to footgun yourself though. It would be nice if they had a default spending alert set at some low value to avoid nasty surprises. $186 is nowhere near as bad as it could have been though. When my employer first started trying out Azure someone (not me, I was working elsewhere when this happened and only heard it second hand) accidentally created a Sql Server Enterprise tier DB instead of a Sql Server Dirt Cheap Tier DB and ran up a charge of several thousand dollars before the first bill was generated and anyone realized there was a problem. 
We have had a few other fun smaller snafus related to people not realizing the charge is per database not per database server, or that deleting a DB in SSMS does not kill all of the backing items that generate monthly charges.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
