Cloud bill check reminder on WhatsApp
A forgotten test instance or open bucket runs all month, and the cloud bill arrives far bigger than planned.
How to set it on WhatsApp
Send RememberMyTask: “Remind me every monday 10am to check the AWS cost dashboard”. A weekly glance catches runaway spend early, long before the monthly invoice. Add a monthly reminder to delete unused resources.

Questions
What should I look at in a cost check?
Spend by service and by day, any sudden jump, and the forecast for the month. Look for idle instances, unattached volumes, old snapshots and data transfer costs.
Should I set budget alerts too?
Yes. Set budget alerts in your cloud console as a safety net. The reminder makes sure someone actually looks at the numbers.
How do I avoid surprise bills from test setups?
Tag resources with an owner and an end date, and set a one-off reminder to tear them down when you create them.
Can the bot read my cloud account?
No. It has no access to your cloud provider. It only sends you the reminder.
