StackDriver Uptime Check keeps working after deleting it

[thstart]

I was researching StackDriver.

Configured UpTime check to look how it is working. It was default settings 

of checking every minute. I see on the Google Cloud dashboard the requests.

Everything fine till now.  Then I don't want these UpTime checks anymore and delete

them.

Going to the  Google Cloud dashboard I still see them working.

The problem is these uptime check keep 3 instances always working and thus 

eating resources and at the end I need to pay for that. 

For this particular service I need it to run once a week and then shut down.

This UpTime check keeping working is a serious issue.

Hello,

Thanks for the question. Please note that your Stackdriver Monitoring Uptime checks are non-chargeable [1]. Thus, you don't pay for them. You pay for the instances running. 

I couldn't reproduce your issue of deleting Uptime checks. I could successfully delete all of them [2] without seeing them working again. The current options for check periods is 1, 5, 10, or 15 minutes [3]. For any other option,

you can fill that as a feature request here [4] under "Management Tools" for Stackdriver Monitoring.

Best Regards,

Mehdi
