Indeed, App Engine's CPU accounting is extremely granular. We measure the amount of CPU used for every request individually and add that to our overall accounting. Your app does not consume resources and you do not pay for anything if your application is not in active use! For example, if your application uses 360 seconds of CPU time beyond the free quota limits on a single day, you would only be charged for one cent of usage ($0.10/CPU-hour * 360 = $0.01). -Brett --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
