Hey All,
We've updated the Admin Console to enable "Min Idle Instances" if you currently have Always On for your app. Always On gives you 3 idle instances, but under the new model many users would only really need (and want to pay for) one. So, if you have Always On for your app, you can now go to the Application Settings in the Admin Console and choose between 1 and 3 min idle instances. This also means that you can now choose to have fewer Max Idle Instances (previously, in you had Always On you could not set Max Idle Instance below 3) which will now more accurately show you what your new bill will be under the new pricing model.
As long as we were updating things, we did find a bug where people could not get the $50 credit just for doing a re-allocation, we've fixed that now and you should be able to get the credit without needing to increase your budget.
Let me know if you have any questions on this,
Greg D'Alesandre

When will the max memory change to 128MB come into effect?

Nov 1st. We originally announced the second half of September but have since moved it back a month to give everyone more time to tune their apps.
So, not 6 days :)

With 1.5.5 in a few weeks. Are you currently using more than that? We will be contacting most apps that use beyond that limit...

I am currently using more than that, and have started a rewrite to come under the 128MB. Needed to know how long I have to complete the rewrite. When are you going to contact apps that are beyond that limit? Don't want people getting caught out and not having enough time to fix the problem.

Why gae is so stingy on the instance memory?
The cost of memory is almost ignorable nowadays.
For a general java app, the startup memory is about 100M.
128M is really too small.
I don't think 512M instance memory will cost google much more money.

Where is the "Min Idle Instances"?
I can't find it in the admin console.

The slider for max idle instances now has two sliders.
I am assuming the top one is min idle instances and the bottom one is max idle instances (which was there before)
I think the pair of sliders could be better documented in the application settings page.
