Hi Francois, Don't set min idles to automatic, set it to a high enough number that over time Total instances (blue) == Billed instances (green). Leave max idles and the two latency settings at automatic.
If you do have min idles configured, can you post a screencap of your instances graph? /Tom On Jan 18, 8:45 am, Francois Masurel <f.masu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Things are getting worse : 20 loading requests for the last 23 minutes > (about 20% of all requests). > > Could I have an explanation ? > > What am I doing wrong ?
