Re: [google-appengine] Re: Hidden usage of frontend instance hours

[Diego Crapper]

Hello, Ernesto.

Thank you for your reply.

If I remember correctly, setting min_instances = 1 and max_instances = 1
created problems when I tried it. I assume it's a problem when Google needs
to move the app to a different server, update the underlying software and
such.

Regardless, I haven't made any changes since November 3, 2021, and the
billing issues only began last month. There hasn't been any noticeable
increase in traffic, so what changed?

This is my billing report chart:

Thanks again.

[google-appengine] Re: Hidden usage of frontend instance hours

['Ernesto Contreras Pinon' via Google App Engine]

The documentation  
shows that when instances are increased, instance time is accrued for 15 
minutes after the last request to the instance. This could explain a 
possible accruing of cost that adds up per month. You could try setting an 
upper 
limit 
of
 
1 instance, so that if an additional instance is created automatically by 
App Engine, it does not use up instance time 
. Do you see other 
costs that might be also adding up from related services? You can filter 
the billing report table 
 
for your project to see detailed costs of your usage for App Engine.

[google-appengine] Re: Interactive console enable in app-engine 2nd gen using python flask

['Matt Larkin' via Google App Engine]

The interactive console is part of the Remote API, which is only available 
for 1st gen python (Py2.7).  There is a note in the docs, implying that the 
Remote API is available for 2nd gen runtimes, but that is not correct, and 
I've submitted a bug to correct it.

[google-appengine] Hidden usage of frontend instance hours

[Diego C.]

Hello.

I have a single service running on App Engine. It's a very-low-traffic 
website, so I've set it to always have 1 instance running, to avoid lengthy 
cold starts when someone does visit. It's been running with no problems for 
a couple of years or so. It always stayed within the free tier. I haven't 
made changes to it in at least several months.

However, since around mid-March, I've been getting charged for extra 
instance hours. I've checked the console and everything seems normal. The 
instances chart shows a straight line on 1, with occasional spikes to 2 
which last for maybe five minutes every couple of hours or so, which is 
normal due to restarts and such, and certainly doesn't seem enough to go 
over the 28 free hours per day. Right now, for example, it says that I've 
used 19 hours today, and that the quota will reset in 5 hours, so 24 hours 
total.

And yet, I keep getting charged. Not a lot, it adds up to maybe 3 or 4 
dollars a month, but still, I don't know where it's coming from.

Did App Engine change something about how hours are billed around 
mid-March? Any ideas on how to check what's going on?

Thanks!

[google-appengine] Messenger bot with dialogflow does not respond to user

[Alexander Coronel]

 

I have a messenger bot built with google's dialogflow engine, to respond 
the user I have a webhook. when I send a message with a "hello", the 
default welcome intent its triggered and the webhook it its called and it 
responds to me.

After that I need the products of my business so I write "Comprar" (Buy), 
the Products intent it is triggered and the webhook responds with a 
fulfillment message with a list of available products. In the history 
section in google dialogflow, I can see the json respond of the wekhook 
with the message that the user will receive.

But facebook does not show the message. I use the same webhook for many 
intents, and it is not working in this case.

this is the respond I got in the History section for this case:


{ "id": "f75002cd-2f8a-422a-960d-dd2c9e00b490-74fe87bc", "fulfillmentText": 
"", "language_code": "es", "queryText": "Comprar", "webhookPayload": {}, 
"intentDetectionConfidence": 1, "action": "GET_CATEGORIES", 
"webhookSource": "", "parameters": {}, "fulfillmentMessages": [ { 
"quickReplies": { "title": "Escoge alguna de estas Categorías:", 
"quickReplies": [ "Volver", "", "FIRMA ELECTRONICA" ] } } ], 
"diagnosticInfo": { "webhook_latency_ms": "732.0" }, "webhookStatus": { 
"webhookStatus": { "message": "Webhook execution successful" }, 
"webhookUsed": true }, "outputContexts": [ { "lifespanCount": 1, "name": 
"vercatalogo-followup", "parameters": {} } ], "intent": { "isFallback": 
false, "displayName": "ver.catalogo", "id": 
"41dcecf2-11b6-4e50-8294-b86d849093e1" } }


I hope someone will help me.

Thanks in advance.
