Hi, it's Shii-chan! Today's change is about who receives budget alerts, so if you manage them, take a look!

AWS What's New aws.amazon.com

What was announced?

AWS What's New announced that AWS Budgets now verifies email subscribers for notifications. AWS Budgets lets you set custom cost and usage thresholds and alerts you by email when spending crosses them.

What changes

When you add an email address to a budget notification, AWS Budgets sends a verification email to that address. The address begins receiving notifications once the recipient confirms it.

Dive Deep

  • Verification applies to email addresses added from 9/30/26 onward
  • Addresses already subscribed on existing budgets are unaffected and need no action
  • The recipient confirms by following the link in the verification email, which opens the AWS Management Console
  • The AWS Budgets console shows the verification status of every subscriber, with a resend option for addresses still pending
  • Notifications are delivered through AWS User Notifications, and recipients can opt out at any time
  • Available in all AWS Regions except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions

Wrap-up

  • New notification emails are verified before alerts are sent
  • Applies to addresses added from 9/30/26; existing ones are unaffected
  • You can see verification status and resend in the console

If you add or manage budget alert recipients, remember the verification email!
