Who downvoted you for saying one shouldn't be surprised when an account gets shut down after not paying for 3 years?

On that note: why hasn't the account been shut down for nonpayment?

Presumably because that only happens when it crosses a threshold dollar amount, and $0.80/month isn't enough to get it over that threshold.

(That price is too small for there to be a running instance; it's most likely for storage belonging to an instance that was shut down, such as a 16GB EBS snapshot. It is reasonable that Amazon would be very careful about deleting that.)

Maybe the debt needs to be groomed on paper before it's sold.
