Would have suspected a problem somewhere in the Amazon cloud. Didn't notice it myself this morning but had something similar a few months ago.

Their customer service is fucking horrendous.. a three hour wait on WhatsApp via the usual useless bot crap...  was meant to be on a new deal sorted I thought in March only to get a wrong bill this morning.. trying to make out I was offered the deal several times but never confirmed .. so they got a copy n paste of my last convo offering and getting acceptance of the deal and also an email confirming it all.. so they fucked up.. useless bunch of cunts and they have the nerve to try and increase the costs...
