Hi Jon,
again, thanks for your answer, and sorry for bothering you with new questions. This would be so much easier in face-to-face conversation than with email. If you would like a Google hangout, just drop me an email off-list.

So what is total-instances then? I know, that sounds like a dumb question. At first assumed that in second x, it would simply be the number of instances (active+idle) in that second (total instances as I understand it). But in one of your posts, you wrote "total-instances refers to the blue line on the graph, and is computed according to the +15-minutes-since-last-request formula". > > 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? > > Yes. > > > 2) But 1 instance would be idle for at least 15 minutes, right? > > Maybe.

So setting max-idle-instances to 4 leads to being reliably billed more, but not having any reliable way of measuring the benefit?
