What it finds

Neptune Old Snapshot: one of the Neptune checks in the database optimization group. Checks in this group look for: database capacity that is idle, oversized for its load, kept past its useful life, or priced on a mode that does not fit how it is used.

Why it costs money

Managed databases bill for provisioned instances, storage and backups around the clock, so unused or oversized capacity is a standing cost.

How it is detected

Runs in the partner build and the paid hosted tiers.

Where this check runs
