Amazon EC2 Future-dated Capacity Reservations now supports cancellation

Posted on: Jun 18, 2026

Amazon EC2 Future-dated Capacity Reservations lets you secure capacity up to 120 days in advance by specifying the capacity you need, the start date, and a commitment duration. Should plans change, you can now cancel your future-dated reservation. Depending on when you cancel, a charge may apply.

When a cancellation charge applies, Amazon EC2 presents a quote with the exact terms for you to review and accept before the cancellation takes effect.

This feature is available in the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. To learn more, refer to the Capacity Reservations user guide.
