Accept or reject billing of a shared EC2 Capacity Reservation - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

Accept or reject billing of a shared EC2 Capacity Reservation

If you receive a billing assignment request for a Capacity Reservation that is shared with you, you can either accept or reject it. The request remains in the pending state until it is accepted or rejected.

If you accept the request, it enters the accepted state, and billing of any available, or unused, capacity of that Capacity Reservation is assigned to your account from that point onward. After you accept a request, only the Capacity Reservation owner can revoke billing from your account.

If you reject the request, it enters the rejected state, and billing of the available capacity of the Capacity Reservation remains assigned to the Capacity Reservation owner.

Requests expire if they are not accepted or rejected within 12 hours. If a request expires, billing of any unused capacity of the Capacity Reservation remains assigned to the Capacity Reservation owner.

Note

When a request is accepted or rejected, an Amazon EventBridge event is sent to the Capacity Reservation owner's account. When a request expires, an Amazon EventBridge event is sent to the Capacity Reservation owner and the consumer account. For more information, see Monitor billing assignment requests for shared Capacity Reservations.
