Amazon EC2 instance starts automatically

I have been using Amazon Web Service Free Tier for 3 months. I have created Amazon EC2 instances and after using them I have closed them immediately. However, I realized that one instance started automatically after terminating. Several times I terminated the instance, and it started to run automatically again. Because of this situation I was charged.

Can anyone show me how to close ec2 instances permenantly ?

Thanks.

If it is spot instance, make sure you cancel all your Request spot instance in the console menu Otherwise it will keep running the instance.

It sounds like you have setup an autoscaling group, which will try to ensure you have a certain number of instances running.

To check this, login to the EC2 console and look for the Auto Scaling -> Auto Scaling Groups menu item. If you click into that you should be able to see all the current ASGs and could delete them or change the number of instances to 0.
