Kind of frustrating, really. I just bought 2 reserved instances about 6 weeks ago. Would have saved a nice penny if I waited.

It's definitely nice to see the pricing become more affordable over time though. Before this cut I really struggled going with AWS, but wouldn't even need to think about choosing them after this reduction.

You should contact support. I hear aws is really nice about offering price reductions in situations like yours.

Based on my experience today, I can attest to this. If you purchased recently, they may very well accommodate you.

Contact AWS Support, I saw a case of this where a user bought RIs a few days ago and they offered a refund for the RIs, at which point they can decide to buy it again using the new lower price or just stick with on-demand.
