duankhoihung.vn: billed for R2 Infrequent Access storage the author says was deleted a year earlier.

Community user invesment.project.ma (duankhoihung.vn) says the account was wrongly billed for R2 storage that was not used, has submitted six support cases including 02264237 with no reply, and shares an invoice screenshot. A community MVP reads the screenshot as 31 Infrequent Access Class A requests billed $9 under the rounding policy; the author replies that Infrequent Access was last used a year ago and that storage was deleted a month after creation. The author does not state the amount in text.
