The AWS stack removes RDS with the final snapshot

Some time ago, while deleting a stack, RDS was also deleted without leaving a final snapshot, now when RDS is deleted and a manual snapshot is created that is not deleted. What could be the reason?

I delete stack in this way: aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name name-of-the-stack

I did not find any similar problem.

The documentation for AWS::RDS::DBCluster says:

The default DeletionPolicy for AWS::RDS::DBCluster resources is Snapshot.

The change history for the documentation has an entry for August 18, 2017 that says:

The default DeletionPolicy is now Snapshot for AWS::RDS::DBCluster resources and for AWS::RDS::DBInstance resources that don't specify the DBClusterIdentifier property.

So, you're not going crazy.
