If you are using CloudFront’s flat-rate plan, you will automatically receive email alerts when you reach certain usage levels: 50%, 80%, and 100% of your monthly limit. While the official guides confirm that these notifications are sent at these points, they don’t specify exactly who receives these emails.
For those with a stand-alone AWS account or accounts within AWS Organizations, it’s not clear from the documentation whether the notifications go to the root user email, alternative contact emails, or management account contacts within an organization.
To find out for sure who will receive these notifications based on your account setup, it’s best to contact AWS Support directly. You can do this through the AWS Support Center at https://console.aws.amazon.com/support/. Their support team can give you precise details on how notification delivery works for your specific account type—whether it’s an individual account or part of an organization.
Getting this information will help you plan better and keep track of your CloudFront usage without surprises. For more details on the flat-rate plans and notifications, check out the official AWS documentation and recent blog posts, which provide additional insights on features and updates.
