Impact Summary

Medium Negative for users
Affected users
Aws bedrock users Reserved capacity purchasers Kiro free tier users Kiro subscription users

AWS Bedrock updated its AWS Service Terms on May 23, 2026, adding explicit language stating that Reserved Cache Nodes and Amazon DynamoDB Reserved Capacity purchases are noncancellable and remain owed for the full selected term even if the agreement is terminated. The updated terms also clarify that Amazon Web Services, Inc. is the contracting party for Kiro subscriptions purchased through Stripe, and establish that Amazon Bedrock abuse detection mechanisms apply to Kiro use. For Kiro Free Tier users specifically, the terms now authorize AWS to store inputs for up to 60 days to detect agreement violations and improve detection capabilities.

2 new obligations

Reserved capacity purchasers: Once you purchase reserved capacity, you cannot cancel it and must pay for the full commitment period no matter what happens.

Kiro free tier users: AWS will keep your Kiro Free Tier inputs for 60 days to check for rule violations and to get better at detecting violations.

What this means for you

The updated terms establish that Reserved Cache Nodes and Amazon DynamoDB Reserved Capacity purchases are noncancellable obligations, and you will owe the full amount charged for the duration of the term you selected, even if the AWS agreement is terminated. For Kiro Free Tier users, the revised policy authorizes AWS to store your inputs for up to 60 days for purposes of detecting agreement violations and improving detection capabilities. You can review your existing reserved capacity commitments and their terms at any time, but the updated language does not provide an opt-out mechanism for this noncancellation obligation.

What you can do

Review your existing Reserved Capacity commitments and their selected terms to understand the full duration and cost of your noncancellable obligation.

If you use Kiro Free Tier, review the updated input retention disclosure and determine whether the 60-day retention period aligns with your data handling practices or applicable privacy regulations.
