Is GAE still using old pricing scheme ?

[Prashant Gupta]

Hi,

My GAE apps still show old quota limits. According to me new pricing and quota schemes should be applicable by now. If it is not, when it is going to be effective from ?

"me" must be misinformed :-)
The new pricing will kick in tomorrow.

Just a slight change, the new pricing will actually kick in on Nov 7th.  We are sending out an email to all admins or running applications about this tomorrow.  If you have any questions on this, please let me know!

Yes, good question - I ran into the same problem.  My biggest budget item is data store reads, and I'd like to set its budget at a comfortable level.  But I can't do that until the new pricing kicks in.  But that might be too late, unless I do it shortly after midnight PST November 7th.  Is this Google's expectation?  Perhaps there should be a way to set future budget items at lest a day before the new pricing kicks in?  Or perhaps that only budget item that is of consequence is the "daily budget", and we can't fine tune budgets for specific resources?  So if I have set my CPU quota fo $10 a day, and email quote to $5 a day, then when the new pricing kicks in, the only thing that'll transition over is $15 daily quota.  Is this true?

Hey Greg,

how do we avoid over-quota errors if we cannot edit the budget for
instance hours?

[Gregory D'alesandre]

Your third question is dead on :)  Under the new model only the daily budget matters and so you won't need to set budgets for specific resources.  So your scenario is precisely accurate.  If you'd like to increase your budget to $20/day, you can add that into any of the existing buckets you'd like as they'll all go away on Nov 7th and you'll just be left with $20/day.

I hope this clarifies but let me know if you have additional questions!

Thanks Greg.  Yes, this clarifies things.
