Same Problem Here, as you can see three of the resident instances don't have any load while 3 dynamic instances take all of the load. This is going to imply a double cost for us. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FEFFfaKcPYM/Tl9-NvnFiKI/AAU/nEKXqmyY0R8/gae.jpg Seems like its a common

This is indeed an issue with showing the comparison bills while always-on is still running. The Resident instances that you see are the ones that always-on keeps running. Under the new model if you have a paid app, you will choose how many instances you want to keep idle at a minimum. So, on

There seems to be some favoring of dynamic instances taking load over the always on which is also what I am seeing in my experience. I seem to always have the 3 resident instances taking no requests while additional dynamic ones are doing all the work. Could this be exaggerating the price

Yes indeed, you are correct. The new scheduler is geared up for the new model and as such doesn't use the always on instances as much. So it is probably 72 instance hours per day higher than it should be. As long as we are talking about this, someone also reminded me of is that I haven't been

Same problem, our instances are most of time idle. I think the pricing is reasonable okay but the scheduler is causing these huge rates. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group. To view this discussion on the web visit

We are seeing 600 Total Instances, but only 150 Active Instances (this application is still set for Automatic Max Idle Instances). I'm really, really hoping that the sample billing Instance-Hours computation was made using the Total Instances and that scheduler improvements combined with the

I had same issue with always-on feature. It had 3 resident instances up with no traffic and a new request came in and it spun up another instance to serve the new requests while the resident instances were still idle. My app only gets heavy traffic on certain days - so not sure if the
