Help! Cloud billing is active but app engine is stuck at FREE.

[Will Reiher]

I'm running up against resource limitations and there is no way I can get billing to activate in App Engine even though it's active on the cloud side of things. What do I do?

There as a mention recently of someone having issue with using the socket API, it only cleared up when they ALSO enabled billing via the AppEngine console itself. Just enabling billing on the parent cloud project wasnt enough. 

Maybe the same here?

+1. Here's a reference for OP: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-appengine/j58mZuuXjpE/Y-nyK5AdStMJ

Activate billing through the App Engine console. Log into the console ( appspot.com ), and click the link marked Billing Status on the left navigation bar.

Wish I could the button is disabled and above it says: 

Billing for this application is managed from the Google Cloud Console.

I have this exact same problem. I just created a new project - even created a new billing account first, which seems to be a requirement now when creating new projects. I have other billed projects charging me fine with the same billing details... When using appengine.google.com, it says that billing is controlled through the Developer Console, but there is nowhere I can find to "Enable Billing" like the old system a couple months ago. The project just seems stuck in Free mode.

Were you able to resolve on your own, or did Google Support need to do something?

I would try going to the cloud console, opening up your project, then navigating to Compute > Compute Engine. If you haven't set up billing, it should take you to a billing screen to help set up billing information. If you have set up billing, try creating and then immediately deleting a Compute Engine VM.

If you're still seeing errors, try filling out the billing support form: https://support.google.com/cloud/contact/cloud_platform_billing

Thanks, I created a VM then deleted it... still no daily budget option in App Engine settings.

Pretty funny bug, you would think Google would iron this one out quickly in order to get customers paying.
