Re: [google-appengine] App down due to Quotas exceeded

2012-04-06 Thread Doug Stoddart
well, developments. Soon after I made this post (co-incidence ? I dunno) my
billing status changed and I was able to update my budget.  So am now still
waiting for it to take effect, which I know can take a while to filter
through to my actual app.  (Why?)

This is a showstopper as far as I'm concerned.  Ridiculous when you
consider the complexity of the infrastructure involved that it comes down
to 2 simple things:
- time to process my payment (already registered, still valid credit card)
- someone from Google Support to at least communicate with me and say,
we're working on it..

hmmm.

 Yes, we are having problems for the last hour in europe-west. 
 Mainly 500s. Looks like the auto-scaling is having issues.
