Matija, you said:

"""or that app-engine quota permits this CPU
usage only few times let's say per minute and that they will stop my
application for several hours if I continue with this usage."""

Bingo, that is exactly what we do. We don't absolutely forbid such
high CPU requests but we do highly discourage them. The best way to
think about it is that if we took it to the extreme, and let the app
spend as much time on each request as they liked, then we would only
be able to serve a small number of applications at the same time. It
is only by enforcing request deadlines and cpu-consumption limits that
we are able to make this service open to as many applications as
possible while also guaranteeing isolation between them.

Josh, to address your question, what you are really looking for is
improved support for offline processing (there are many issues for
this listed in the Issue Tracker). With that infrastructure in place
we may be able to adjust the limits. Offline processing is orthogonal
to billing.
