What it finds

Incomplete Multipart: one of the S3 checks in the storage optimization group. Checks in this group look for: storage that no workload reads, writes or needs any more: unattached volumes, stale snapshots and backups, data with no lifecycle rule.

Why it costs money

Storage bills per gigabyte-month whether or not anything uses it, and forgotten copies pile up quietly.

How it is detected

Multipart uploads abandoned for more than 7 days

Detection confidence: MEDIUM. This is the criterion from our public docs. It runs in a local scan with your own read-only credentials.

AWS's own tools

AWS has a check on the same resource, with narrower or different criteria.

Checked against the AWS documentation.

Run it yourself

Nothing leaves your machine. The local scan has no telemetry.
