Certified AI Dev (@MisterPrashant) reportedThis solution to this problem is AI traffic monetization. If you are an owner of a platform that provides some valuable data, you can put the data behind a paywall for the AI traffic by charging the bot fraction of a penny for using your content. x402 Payment Required protocol tells the bot that the content requires payment and the bot settles the transaction quickly on a stable coin at which point the content becomes accessible. This way,people running their search bots does not require subscription to 10 different services and can easily access data from anywhere at a very minimal cost and the owners of the sites also win as the traffic count to their paywalled site will generate income. This is not a concept. The framework to build this is already available in @awscloud today.

zarrakh (@zarrakh) reported@AWSSupport @awscloud @AWSSupport as I told before, It will be just a correspondence and no solution. I have been getting correspondence since feb 2026 but no refund, despite of your team confirmed that the issue is on your side.#aws

Arian van Putten (@ProgrammerDude) reported@QuinnyPig @awscloud Are they gonna fix not being able to have to accounts logged in in two different tabs?

Ümit Kaan Usta (@umitkaanusta) reported@AWSSupport I keep getting errors across the AWS Console where components or resource lists fail to load, showing messages like “An error occurred calling the API: describeAddresses.” Reloading sometimes fixes it temporarily. can you help? It's mostly on EC2 related stuff. us-east-1

Payal (@payal_codes) reportedDay 1 : "How to Scale an App to 10 Million Users on AWS" If I have to design a system for 10 million users, I won't build everything on Day 1 because it will add unnecessary complexity and cost. I'll start simple with one application server and one database. As traffic grows, if the server starts reaching its CPU, memory, or storage limits, I'll first scale vertically by moving to a bigger instance. Once that is not enough, I'll separate the backend and database so both can scale independently. To avoid a single point of failure, I'll deploy the application across multiple Availability Zones and put a Load Balancer in front so if one server or AZ goes down, traffic is automatically routed to healthy servers. As the number of users keeps increasing, I'll make my application stateless by storing sessions in Redis. This allows me to add multiple application servers behind the Load Balancer and scale horizontally. If my database starts getting overloaded with reads, I'll use Redis to cache frequently accessed data and add read replicas to distribute read traffic. For static assets like images, CSS, and JavaScript, I'll store them in Amazon S3 and serve them through CloudFront so requests don't keep hitting my application servers. If traffic suddenly spikes during sales or events, I'll enable Auto Scaling with CloudWatch metrics so AWS automatically adds or removes servers based on demand. As the application becomes larger, I'll split the monolith into microservices. This allows each service, like authentication, payments, or notifications, to scale independently instead of scaling the entire application. If the database becomes the bottleneck, especially for write operations, I'll use sharding or federation depending on the data and business requirements. Finally, when users are spread across the world, I'll deploy the application in multiple AWS Regions to reduce latency and improve availability. My approach is always the same: find the bottleneck, solve that bottleneck, and only introduce more complexity when the current architecture can no longer handle the traffic.

Andrii Bidochko 🦉 (@andriibidochko) reportedThe Missing Primitive for Autonomous AI: Bounded Agent Payments 💳🤖 For the past two years, autonomous agent loops (like @OpenClaw, Hermes, or custom agent harnesses) have been missing a critical infrastructure piece: the ability to transact on demand without a human in the loop. When an agent hits a paywalled research endpoint, a paid search API, or an MCP server mid-execution, the entire loop freezes. Up until now, your options were: 1. Hardcode expensive subscription API keys upfront. 2. Freeze execution and wait for a human to manually pay. @awscloud and the OpenClaw Foundation just published a blueprint solving this via Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Payments and the #x402 protocol. Here is how it works, why it matters, and the primary architecture use cases:

M (@mdw864) reported@awscloud can you PLEASE answer me? You’ve just turned off my Business because you will not help me. I need you to stop charging me. Do not tell me to login because I do not know the email address that was used to open the account. All I know is my bank account is being charged

Sumedh More (@DroidBoyJr) reportedHey @awscloud @AWSSupport im trying Bedrock with root user and getting NOT_AUTHORISED error with 400. Tried support and the ai assistant couldn't find anything. Tried raising ticket, it asked me to upgrade support plan. Plan upgrade failing with error. Going nowhere #SOS

Chintan Shah (@chintan86) reported@AWSSupport @awscloud Dues cleared, reinstatement requested — still waiting with no movement. My production workloads are down and every hour is costing us. Can someone please prioritise this? Case ID ready to share over DM.

PolyPup (@PolyPup) reportedI think I have a problem. - 3 @ChatGPT subscriptions - 2 @AnthropicAI subscriptions - $8,200 @awscloud bill coming this month I have so many protocols built, ready for deployment. Really cool innovative, revenue generating projects but I'm hesitant to launch on anything. Maybe someday.

Joy | 🔥 (@JoyKingdomx) reportedAs we all know, cloud outages are not a new topic here. But what is changed is how many products now depend on the same infrastructure. A few years ago, an AWS outage mostly affected AWS customers. Where today one infrastructure issue can ripple across AI apps, APIs, developer tools, streaming platforms and payment services. That is the downside of concentration. We have seen @awscloud outages impact millions. We have also seen @OpenAI outages pause production apps because entire inference pipelines depended on a single provider. It is not the outage that matters - it is the dependency behind it. That is the reason why decentralized compute makes sense. Instead of relying on a single cloud or region, @ionet distributes compute across a global network of GPUs in 138+ countries. No infrastructure is immune to failure, the goal is to ensure one failure does not become everyone's failure.

🦋Kieran🦋 💻 (@sir_divs_alot) reported@AWSSupport Thanks for your response and I've been keeping track for any updates very closely but the problem is these cases are either unassigned and if they are, no one is following up. I'm at the point of just giving up entirely cuz it's pointless waiting endlessly.

WPBeginner (@wpbeginner) reportedYou built your WordPress site over months (or years). One bad plugin/theme update can wipe it all out overnight. 😱 Plugin conflicts. Malware. A botched migration. A hacked server. The disasters that take down WordPress sites usually happen without warning. And here's the mistake most site owners make: they think their hosting provider's backup is enough. It's NOT. If the server fails, you lose both your site and the backup. We share the complete step-by-step guide for backing up your WordPress site the right way. Here is what you will learn: ✅ Use a Backup Plugin (Best for Most People): @DuplicatorWP is what we use across our sites. Full-site backups, disaster recovery links, and restore without having the plugin pre-installed. Free version available, Pro has scheduled backups. ✅ Use Your Hosting Provider's Backup: SiteGround (where WPBeginner is hosted) includes manual and automated daily backups on all plans. Bluehost partners with CodeGuard and Jetpack for their built-in options. ✅ Manual Backup With cPanel or FTP: Use cPanel's Backup Wizard for a full backup, or connect via FileZilla FTP to download your wp-content, themes, plugins, and wp-config.php files directly. ✅ Send Backups to Cloud Storage: Duplicator and UpdraftPlus both connect natively to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Amazon S3. Never store backups on the same server as your website. If your host fails, both are gone. ✅ Set Up Automatic Scheduled Backups: Configure hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly backups in Duplicator based on how often you publish. eCommerce stores and busy blogs need daily. Slower-moving sites can get away with weekly. Ready to protect years of hard work with a proper WordPress backup system? Read the full ultimate step-by-step guide 👇 (Link is in the thread below)

Kartik Jain (@kartikjain0101) reported@awscloud you guy has lost your mind. payment got missing so team told me they will raising the request. account got hold, we have 250K unused credits, and now they are not initiation the account. wtf. our whole production is down.

Christian Nonis (@christiannonis) reportedI am (unfortunately) dealing with @googlecloud and @awscloud and what I am noticing is that in months they are unable so solve any kind of problem, it’s like being bounced back by ai replies that are sold like assistance from humans, saying that they are “working on that” but nothing changes in months and also replies are all the same.. idk if they are experiencing a shortage in human labor or what’s going on but the experience has become worse than ever

Anjishnu Ganguly (@Anjishnu46) reportedI posted again that day because the same issue was blocking our AWS Activate application too. @AWSSupport said it had been passed along again. Another public reply, same unusable account.

billy (@Billy17979063) reported@fortniteleaksmy It’s up for some down for some @awscloud ******* decides to shut down not just PlayStation but other platforms too

Mon (@mon73x) reported@asimrazax @AWSSupport I have the same problem. Did you fix it?

jd42 (@jdonovan42) reported@DarioCpx Pls recalculate considering the massive clouds the AI revs sit on. Each $1 in AI attaches $1.5-2.5X attached cloud biz and your down to 30-45% of revs. Then as open wgt models gain apply the 100% revenue retention vs. 60% on frontier and look at EBITDA % from frontier is 10-15% max. But nice try ;) No doubt Anthropic and OpenAI both stimulate demand for Amazon AWS. It creates 2x the cloud biz than it does the direct AI biz. So why not count the full picture of things vs just the #'s that fit one narrative.
