8 is fairly arbitrary, but there's always going to be a number that bothers people, be it 10, 20 or 50.
You should enable billing. We only charge if you go above the daily free quota, and it raises the rate limit. That means that if you send 10 emails per minute and only do this once a month, you'll never hit this quota limit, and we'll likely not bill you since you'll still be well within our free quota. -- Ikai Lan Developer Programs Engineer, Google App Engine Blogger: http://googleappengine.blogspot.com Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/appengine Twitter: http://twitter.com/app_engine On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 10:28 AM, Ronald R.
