It appears that on the same day billing was enabled (Nov 7th), what counted as a "Datastore Small Operation" also changed. Is that true?
In all of my billing previews before Nov 7th, the count was at an acceptable level, but started to climb on Nov 7th, topping out at around 100x what it was previously. Causing an accumulation of over $1,000 in bills that should have been less than a tenth of that. I left for vacation expecting the billing preview level to stay the same after billing was enabled, but appears that count() operations were not included prior to the Nov 7th update? Code wasn't changed since mid-October, and here are the counts for small operations (in millions): Nov 6th: 14 (Days before the 6th were at or under this level) Nov 7th: 10 Nov 8th: 41 Nov 9th: 118 Nov 10th: 192 Nov 11th: 462 Nov 12th: 632 And then it levels out here, using up all quota each day, which was my fault for leaving so high as I had imported a lot of data prior to leaving. Code didn't change, traffic patterns didn't change (there may have been a bit of a fight with spammers hammering the site a bit, but that doesn't appear to be a totally new thing - still trying to post-mortem that but very difficult weeks after the fact). Only my bill went crazy. All posts that talk about these operations changing reference these two URLs: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas.html#Resources http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/kb/billing.html#operations_charged_for One of which can't be found and the other doesn't seem to have any information related to this. Can someone clarify what changed and when? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
