Need Help Disabling Amazon Q Features While Keeping QuickSight Dashboard Active

Q&A

Hello QuickSight Community,

I hope someone can help me with a billing and configuration issue I’m experiencing with my QuickSight account.

Current Situation: I’m being charged $300 monthly for my QuickSight usage, and I’ve identified that $250 of this is due to the Amazon Q enablement fee. I have a QuickSight dashboard called “FireBeats DashBoard” that analyzes policyholders data and contains 5 analysis sheets with 58 interactive visuals.

What I’ve Done So Far:

  • Removed my Pro license to eliminate that cost component

  • Confirmed that Q&A is already disabled on my dashboard (isQnaEnabled: false)

  • Identified that having this topic in my account is still triggering the $250/month Amazon Q enablement fee

What I Need Help With: I want to continue using my QuickSight dashboard with all its current policyholders analysis functionality (interactive visuals, filtering, data analysis capabilities), but I need to completely disable/remove Amazon Q features to eliminate the $250/month charge. I may want to re-enable Q features in the future, but for now, I need to stop this cost.

Specific Questions:

  1. Is there a way to disable Amazon Q capabilities at the account level without deleting my existing dashboard?

  2. Can I convert my current dashboard to a standard QuickSight dashboard that doesn’t trigger the Amazon Q enablement fee?

  3. If I must delete the current topic, is there a way to recreate the same Q topic again and reuse it?

  4. Are there any account-level settings I should check to ensure no other Amazon Q features are inadvertently enabled?

Technical Details:

  • Account has 1 dashboard: “FireBeats DashBoard”

  • Q&A is disabled on the dashboard

  • No Pro users currently active (turned off the Pro license)

I really value the analytical capabilities of my current policyholders dashboard but need to eliminate the Amazon Q-related costs temporarily. Any guidance on how to maintain my dashboard functionality while removing Amazon Q features would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello Ajay,

As you have removed the Pro users to normal ( reader/author) , you would also need to remove/delete any topic that may exist in your Quick suite account. This will disable Amazon Q. you may also additionally disable Amazon Q permission

manage Quick Suite > under account > Amazon Q >

Please be mindful that you may still be charged for the current month if you have exercise the steps in between the month even after 1st day of the month. there should not be any charge the following month onwards.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
