Getting charged for the free micro-f1 CPU

[Felipe Ferraz]

I'm struggling to use the "Always free tier" from gcloud.

I have a simple Angular + nodejs in development website and somehow I'm paying for it.

As you can see in the screenshot I was charged R$ 2.23 for 1 day of CPU usage for SQL, why is that? should it not be free? Funny thing is that I didn't even work feb 9th, since it was saturday.

I'm really confused about Google's billing, any help would be greating appreciated.

ps.: I made sure to select us-east-1.

Note that one f1-micro instance is free on Compute Engine, it's not
free on Cloud SQL. See https://cloud.google.com/sql/pricing.

Thank you for the clarification. 

Now I just have to figure out why my nodejs application is using so much PD HDD data, as you can see in the screenshot it used 0.714 GB, but as of now, just 12 hours later, it is already at 1.017 GB... It's just a small website I didn't even access it after that time.

Any ideas?

Hi Felipe,

I understand that you are experiencing an issue with your node.js application, however as this group is intended for general discussion regarding Cloud SQL and not for specific technical issue’s troubleshooting I you would have better assistance from another channel.
