Last updated July 3, 2026

What triggers this finding

An EBS volume in the **available** (unattached) state that has been unattached for more than 7 days.

Typical fix

Delete the volume if the data is no longer needed, or attach it to an instance. Paid plans include a delete-volume script with a snapshot warning.

Example savings

100% of volume storage charges — scales with volume size and type (e.g. $0.08–$0.125/GB-month for gp3).
