Explanation

Block volumes that are not attached to any instance continue to incur charges. These often accumulate after instance deletion or reconfiguration. Unlike boot volumes, unattached data volumes may be harder to track if not labeled or tagged clearly.

Relevant Billing Model

Charged per GB provisioned, regardless of attachment or usage state.
