Monitor the state of your Amazon Web Services accounts

In this state, the account is unusable because the account sign-up process was initiated but never completed. The account holder must complete the remaining sign-up steps, such as providing phone verification or payment information. After completing these steps, the account transitions to the ACTIVE state.

This state indicates that the account is fully operational and available. Users can access Amazon services and resources normally according to the account's permissions and organization policies. Regular Amazon activities such as launching resources, managing services, and incurring charges can occur in this state.

In this state, the account is unusable because Amazon has restricted access. The account holder can still view billing information and contact Amazon Web Services Support, who can explain why the account is suspended.

This temporary state indicates an active request to close the account, but the closure process is not yet complete. The account remains functional and can still be used to access Amazon services while the closure request is processed. After Amazon processes the closure request, the account transitions to the CLOSED state.

This state indicates that the account was closed at the request of the account holder or by Amazon and is displayed next to the account name in the Amazon Organizations console for 90 days after closure is initiated. During this period, you cannot access Amazon services, but you can contact Amazon Web Services Support to reinstate the account or recover important data. After the 90-day post-closure period has elapsed, the account is permanently closed and will no longer be displayed in the Amazon Organizations console.
