Is it possible to stop an AWS Postgres Aurora Global Database?

I want to run AWS Postgres Aurora Global Database in my staging environment, but I want to stop it overnight and weekends. It seems like this might not be possible?

I have a primary cluster in the EU and a single read replica cluster in the US. If I try and stop the Primary Cluster I get:

Stop-db-cluster is not supported for clusters with read replicas 
(Service: AmazonRDS; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidDBClusterStateFault; Request ID: XXXXXXXX)

Is the only way to stop the RDS is to destroy the entire cluster?!

Aurora Global Database doesn't support stopping and stopping global clusters. From docs:

The following features aren't supported for Aurora global databases: Stopping and starting the DB clusters within the global database.

It seems that, as you pointed out, the only way would be stop delete it and recreate later on from a snapshot for instance.
