Deactivating the AWS generated cost allocation tags - AWS Billing

Deactivating the AWS generated cost allocation tags

Management account owners can deactivate the AWS-generated tags in the Billing and Cost Management console. When a management account owner deactivates the tag, it's also deactivated for all member accounts. After you deactivate the AWS-generated tags, AWS no longer applies the tag to new resources. Previously tagged resources remain tagged.

To deactivate the AWS-generated tags

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Billing and Cost Management console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/billing/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Cost allocation tags.

  3. Under AWS-generated cost allocation tags, choose Deactivate.

It can take up to 24 hours for tags to deactivate.
