I'm nowhere near the point where I even need to use billable usage ...
but does Google send an alert when you near the point of exceeding
your daily quota based on the amount set in your billing account?

If you were slashdotted or mentioned on the major news networks you
would want to increase your billing settings pronto to prevent your
site from going down. Just curious if anyone has addressed this
issue.

Hi Stephen,

Good question, the App Engine system does not currently notify you when your app is nearing its quota. However this is a feature request I've heard a few times.

Thank you,

Jeff

I recommend the free app Engine Watch on android. You can set limit on quota to be notified when they are reached.

But it would be great to have something similar directly from Google.

I suppose you are able to do it yourself. Just make a simple cron job that will monitor your quota usage and send you and email alert after reaching some threshold..

Thanks for recommending that, I'm the developer of that app :) Feel
free to contact me if you need a feature or things like that. I
haven't touched it in a while because it does what I need.

Looks nice! Thanks for sharing,

Do you plan to accept external contribution to this application ?

If the question is if I'd open source the app, unsure, maybe I should :) But I'm open for suggestions.
