Is GAE standard billing method changed?

[Tapir]

I just received my last month billing, which is much higher than previous months.

When I tries to visit the quota page for day to day in a project,

I found the page is gone.

So now, I totally lost in which day my project spent more than the free quota.

One of my billing accounts even charge me for 3.7G cloud storage usage.

But I can confirm that this is not true.

Google never charged me for cloud storage usage in this account before,

and I can confirm I only used about 100M more space in the last month for deploying new app versions.

So, here I have two questions:

1. Are there any change made in GAE billing system recently?

2. How can i change the daily quota usages for each of my GAE projects, just like before?

BTW, it looks the "delete app version" button is gone now, so I can't delete old versions of my apps now.

Hello Tapir, 

There are no changes in GAE billing recently, which may have affected you; this, depending on how recent you mean. 

You can change daily quota limits for your already present limits, but you cannot change or remove existing spending limits. You may check "Spending limits" documentation. 

Quota page is not gone for me, I can see it, as well as the "Delete" button for app versions. You may be affected by a browser problem. It's worthwhile deleting cookies, and trying to use another browser, to see if that makes a difference. 

To examine directly your billing-related issues, we'll need private information such as project IDs. This private information ought never be disclosed in publicly-visible threads as this one. You should rather open a separate issue in the Public Issue Tracker, marking your issue as private.

Thanks for the help.

OK, after I upgraded my browser, the "Delete" button is back.

But I remember that there is a link on the quota page to show the usages day by day (30+ days).

But now this link is gone, so I couldn't see the why my app uses so much more resource than before now.

Could you confirm that this link is really removed?

Hi Tapir. 

If you navigate to the Quotas page, click on the quota of interest, you'll see on the column on the right a series of "load usage" links. Do you refer to these links? In my case, they work as expected. Using another browser for test purposes might indicate where the issue is.

Again, thanks for your help.

I clicked the "Quotas page" link in the Quotas pages under App Engine in another Firefox browser.

Then the Quotas page under "IAM and Admin" is opened.

I didn't find the "load usage" link on either of the two Quotas pages.

The Quotas page under "IAM and Admin" does list many App Engine quota items,

but I didn't find "Instance Hours" in them.

Could you post a picture to show where the "load usage" link is located?

Unfortunately, I cannot post a picture here. You might not see the "load page" feature, as this is not yet generally available. It should appear on the Quotas page under "IAM and Admin", where many App Engine quota items are listed. You need to click on one of the items for a new windows, where "load usage" link should appear on the very right. As mentioned, you may not have yet access to this feature.

This feature (or a similar one) was available before. I hope we developers can access this feature again soon.
