Hello:

I am a newbie in GAE and receive 1/1/16~1/31/16 GAE billing today (attach files), it shows I use 18393.798 hours per month, does anyone knows why?

thanks!

If that line is for 'Instance Hours', you can have multiple instances running at once (actually pretty normal, and hard to prevent). Its the sum of all the hours you had instances running for. 

That figure seems to suggest having 25 instances on average.

There is also the possibility that you have chosen a more expensive instance class and those are converted to B1 hours. The instance hour is $0.05 for instance class B1 (the lowest class). If you upgrade to higher classes (faster CPU and/or more RAM), the instance hours are more expensive. https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/modules/#Python_Instance_scaling_and_class

In the reports however, all instance hours are converted to instance hours of B1. So if your app consumed 1 hour of B4 instance class, the report and the billing will show it as 4 instance hours (B1), because B4 costs 4 times of B1 ($0.20 vs. $0.05).
