# Other Housekeeping

### Cloudformation stacks created

Do not delete the CloudFormation stacks that were created during the initial onboarding. We use the permissions granted during then that helps us purchase and sell RIs/Savings plan.&#x20;

If you have any further questions, please contact us at <support@usedotted.com>.

### Should I purchase RIs or savings plans in future

Dotted is 100% responsible for all the purchase decisions we make. That means you have no financial risk when it comes to commitments.&#x20;

If you were to make these purchases on your own, Dotted would not take responsibility, and the risk would be on you. We strongly recommend that you avoid doing this.

### Spinning up an AWS service or discontinuing one

Dotted AI continuously scans your purchase history and tries to forecast your future spend. While AI can do its job well, we recommend that you inform us of your plans in advance (if possible) so that we can be even more efficient with our commitments. You can leave us a message on the chat or email us at <support@usedotted.com>. We will soon embed this feature in the product itself to make it more convenient.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.usedotted.com/en/security-and-access/other-housekeeping.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
