Hi recently(today) I joined the Amazon Web Services platform, to host my database in the cloud, however after creating an account(free tier), when I navigated to the create database(RDS), I noticed this error:

The AWS Access Key Id needs a subscription for the service (Service: AmazonRDS; Status Code: 403; Error Code: OptInRequired; Request ID: a27f4e40-5687-43b3-8bba-ccf419cf7e8f)

How do I go about fixing this?

Isn't it the same issue as this one? – Marcin
Just wait a while and try again. It can take a while for an account to setup. Also, please note that the Free Tier is a billing discount for a certain amount of usage. It does not mean that the Account itself is free. – John Rotenstein
Checking back 12 hours later... is it working for you now? – John Rotenstein

According to the documentation

If you're using an account that was created in or after 2011, then update your account status.
