Announcing consumption-based pricing for short-term memory in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore now bills short-term memory by data ingested, retrieved, and stored, replacing the previous flat rate per event. Ingestion is priced at $1.00 per GB, retrieval at $0.20 per GB, and storage at $0.10 per GB-month, with a 12 KB minimum and 64 KB maximum billable size per event for ingestion and retrieval. AWS says most workloads see lower costs, and long-term memory pricing is unchanged.
What changes for platform teams
Teams running agents on AgentCore memory need to re-estimate costs, since the billing unit changed from events to data volume and small-payload workloads are the ones AWS says benefit most. Setting a shorter TTL on memory resources is the stated lever for controlling storage spend.
