Let's say I have 4 active instances for 5 minutes, then no traffic for the rest of the day, max-idle-instances set to 1. 1) 35 minutes will be billed regardless when the scheduler decides to kill idle instances, right? 2) But 1 instance would be idle for at least 15 minutes, right? > The max-idle-instances setting has two effects.

Let's say I have 4 active instances for 5 minutes, then no traffic for the rest of the day, max-idle-instances set to 4. 1) 80 minutes will be billed regardless when the scheduler decides to kill idle instances, right? 2) But 4 instances would be idle for at least 15 minutes, right?
