Hi GAEfan, Instances that have not received a request in the last 15 minutes are completely ignored by the billing formula. They may be still running [if hosted on fortuitous machines], and as such are technically beneficial to you in that you avoid extra loading requests, but we eat that cost. We only consider instances that have received a request in the last 15 minutes for our billing formula.
