On AWS, I already have an EC2 instance and PostgreSQL RDS which is working fine for more than 2 years. Now I added new EC2 instance and a new PostgreSQL RDS ( both are under free tier ). Later I found that the billing is added to this RDS even though I have selected free tier. Is this possible to create another EC2 and another RDS in the Free Tier when there is a EC2 and RDS running more than 2 years?

The AWS Free Tier is a billing discount provided by AWS. Some discounts are provided only for the first 12 months of an AWS Account, while some apply every month.
For Amazon EC2 instances, the AWS Free Tier provides the following discounts for the first 12 months:
- 750 hours per month of Linux, RHEL, or SLES t2.micro or t3.micro instance dependent on region
- 750 hours per month of Windows t2.micro or t3.micro instance dependent on region
For Amazon RDS databases, the AWS Free Tier provides the following discounts for the first 12 months:
- 750 Hours of Amazon RDS Single-AZ db.t2.micro, db.t3.micro, and db.t4g.micro Instances usage running MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL databases each month (applicable DB engines)
- 20 GB of General Purpose (SSD) database storage
- 20 GB of storage for database backups and DB Snapshots
Both discounts are only provided for the first 12 months of your AWS Account. You might have selected services that are "free tier eligible" but they would not be free because your AWS Account is older than 12 months.
