outgoing bandwidth question

[Nirmal KizhakkeVeetil]

I am checking my GAE instance dashboard and wanted to get a break-down of how my going outgoing bandwidth is getting consumed. We are using DataStore, Task Queues and making external api calls in our service. It would be great if we are able to figure out how this bandwidth is getting consumed. Any pointers will be helpful here...

Datastore and task queue calls run through Google's internal network, so you aren't charged for the bandwidth they incur. Obviously the external API calls will incur outgoing bandwidth charges, but you should be able to figure out the bandwidth consumption by measuring the size of the file returned.

If you're using the Image service's serving URL functionality, be aware that you'll be charged for the bandwidth consumed by the serving url but breaking down the actual usage (linking bandwidth to particular images for example) can't be done.

we are not using Image Service's serving url functionality, we are making close to 150,000 external requests per day each request having close to 2 kb payload .But the dashboard says close to 100 GB of outgoing bandwidth which doesn't  go assuming our request payload is only 2kb size. Any pointers on where we can investigate further ?
