A Lambda function with zero invocations in the lookback window, still incurring storage charges.

Last updated July 6, 2026

What triggers this finding

A Lambda function with zero invocations over the lookback window (typically 30 days).

Typical fix

Delete the function and remove event source mappings, triggers, and aliases if it is no longer used.

Example savings

Minimal direct cost for idle functions — savings come from avoiding related resources and reducing attack surface.
