Hi, there were many different statements about the instance based billing which were not clear to everyone. We've asked proppy in the IRC channel to get us some clarification about the rules that apply to instance based billing. We formulated some assertions and he forwarded them to the product managers. I think you are all interested in them:
- In the dashboard instance chart "Active Instances" represent the instances currently active serving traffic for this application - In the dashboard instance chart "Total Instances" represent all instances currently started for this application - The visual difference between the 2 represent "Idle Instances", i.e: the settings developers can control using Performance settings - Developers will be billed for ("Active Instances" + Max "Idle Instances") and not "Total Instances" All those assertions are "true". Especially the last one should cut the costs for most of the app engine users. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
