On September 30, 2026, AWS introduced an email verification process for new email addresses added to AWS Budgets notifications. Once an address is entered, AWS Budgets sends a confirmation email requiring the recipient to verify ownership via a link into the AWS Management Console, after which notifications commence. Existing subscribers prior to this date remain unaffected.
This update increases notification security and prevents unintentional alert delivery. The AWS Budgets console offers administrators visibility into subscriber verification statuses and the ability to resend confirmation requests. The verification feature is globally available except in AWS GovCloud (US) and China Regions.
