Year to date
Whether the annual number is still recoverable cannot be said yet: 3 month(s) of this fiscal year have no statement, so the spend so far is not all counted.

Each movement is attributed by the organisation's ownership rules (cloudledger rule): a tag, a linked account or a name pattern. What none of them claims is unowned, and that is the finding. The costed actions are not built yet.
Monthly report
Cloud spend in May 2026 was 47 050, 2.0% below the monthly budget of 48 000.
Not every earlier month of the year is on record here, so this report gives no year-to-date figure.
RDS db.r6g.2xlarge, analytics-replica added 1 150: team-data: replica added for quarterly reporting. (RDS: managed databases.)
EKS worker nodes, eu-west-1 took 550 off the bill: team-platform: the load-test node group scaled back.
CloudWatch Logs ingestion added 240: debug logging left on in svc-orders.
Unowned spend is 6 120, 13% of the bill, spread across 54 resources carrying no team tag. It cannot be attributed to anyone, and it will appear in every report until the tags exist.
No forecast is made yet, so this report does not say where next month lands.
No costed actions are recorded for this account yet.
