I have this issue/query posted up on serverfault, but so far, it doesn’t seem
like people think it’s appropriate. So I’m asking here in case my post gets
deleted.
I have a small app hosted on GAE with 2 modules. The default module, frontend is
alotted 28 instance hours. The backend is using basic_scaling:
so only has 8
instance hours available.
I noticed that my application has only been running for 2 hours, yet the backend
module has already used up 76% of its quota! This doesn’t make sense to me.
According to the docs, instance hours are calculated by instance uptime (taking
into account multiple instances).
The instance hours should correlate 1:1 with my module’s uptime. I havemax_instances: 1
set. I also checked the running instances just to make sure
that App Engine wasn’t spawning multiple instances. It wasn’t. I get one
instance, but it’s burning up hours faster than it should.
Am I just misinterpreting the docs? If that’s the case, how do I lower the rate
it burns through the quota?

Then I did misinterpret the docs. It seemed like pretty explicit language to me,
but I was making some assumptions.
Instance usage is billed by instance uptime, at a given hourly rate.
…
Instances are priced based on an hourly rate determined by the instance class.
…
Manual and basic scaling instances are billed at hourly rates based on uptime.
I took this to mean that instance classes had differing $/hr
rates but, what
it actually meant was i_hr/hr
. That’s essentially the same thing if one were
already paying for the service. But for someone who’s in the free tier, the wording
was a little confusing.
Thanks for your clarification. The docs are only clear for people already
familiar with cloud computing terminology.

What would help is if we could input our set ups (eg basic_scaling / automatic_scaling b/f 1/2/3/4 and have the minimum (no traffic) vs maximum (constant traffic so always up) price rangesso egI'm running3 B4's on basic_scaling1 B2 on manualand front-end F4 scaling with 4 maximum front end (My current monthly is just hitting 1k)
