You don't get 2 until multi-threading. You get one. They are just reducing the price of the second one. And under the new system any $ > 0 = $108 / year Hey google overlords: How about instead of charging half for the pre-2.7 period, you bump the free quota to 48 hours until 2.7 comes out? I bet that will eliminate a lot of the kvetching here from the used-to-be-free crowd. (And charging half until November didn't seem to ameliorate the angst of the $Ks/mo crowd anyway.) > > So providing what you want can be served by this instance, you dont > have any (instance) changes.

It's just not in the nature of the scheduler algorithm. And in my case, I really don't need it to. Here are the stats for the most recent month (only counting humans): That should easily fit under the quotas, even if it has to spin up a bunch of instances for each human. But only if I get the Kiosks to stop burning all my quota. I'll look into GS for Developers… -Joshua -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
