You can't actually have requests that take 1 minute; they're limited to 30 seconds. The billing is for CPU time used, not wall clock time used. It's very likely, due to the distributed nature of app engine, that many of your requests will use more CPU time than wall clock time, as they can be handled by multiple machines. But yes, you're only billed for time your app actually consumes on the CPUs. When you're not actively serving any requests, you're not using any CPU time. There's no charge for having your app available to serve requests; unlike Amazon EC2 you're not paying for your own server instance to be running constantly.
