Hey,

I'm trying to start an App Engine service in manual scaling with some Firebase operations that are to run on a background thread.

When I try to send a request I get the following exception in /_ah/background:
"com.google.apphosting.api.ApiProxy$FeatureNotEnabledException: The Socket API will be enabled for this application once billing has been enabled in the admin console."

The billing for the app is enabled.. that's what the dashboard says, all other billing features are available, and there are no free quotas listed.
I tried disabling billing and then enabling it, I tried to stop and start the instances and service, I tried redeploying, but nothing seems to work.

Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this issue?

Thanks!

Do you have an AppEngine daily budget set to $0.00?  That can cause this, as a zero daily budget is equivalent to free tier in terms of quota.

Thank you for the hint Josh!

The "Daily spending limit" was actually set to "Unlimited", but I tried to set it to an arbitrary 100$ and now the exception is gone!
