90 days after billing launch the free daily quotas for all applications will change, as outlined here: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas.html#Free_Changes Until then, if you sign up for billing you would only pay for CPU usage above the current ~46 CPU-hour free quota. After that time, you would pay for usage above 6.5 CPU-hours. As part of billing launch we have raised the fixed quota limits for free and paid applications. These changes primarily affect the non-adjustable, non-billed quotas that you see in the right-most column of the tables in this section (look for "Maximum rate" under "Billing Enabled Quota"). These quotas are mainly rate limits on maximum usage of a particular API or resource in a short time span. http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas.html#Resources We plan that the fixed quotas will remain at the current level after the new free quotas have been rolled out in 90 days. We realize the documentation on this quotas page can be difficult to understand so we're working to make it more clear. Let me know if you have any more questions. -Brett --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
