Now there is a billing issue with memcache premium. It goes along with 0.00 all day and then plunk all of it at once. It doesn't add the cost hour by hour -- clearly a bug. The next day, they plunk like 18 hours right at the beginning of the day, which is rolled back later in the day. But they show the WRONG billing all through the day and I am afraid they will deactivate my application with these errors.
In my opinion, they don't do any real beta testing before plunking stuff out. My guess is they let developers push whenever they want, at least that is what is suggested with the types of error they create. Saturday is the day the love pushing out bad code. They should make premium memcache free until they fix the problems and let us opt in for less than 1 gig --- 1 gig of memcache is way TOO much for many apps and they have made free shared memcache worthless -- their plan all along imo.
