>From what Jon said in another thread ("min instace time is 24 hours?"),
instances may be left hanging around (as they happen to be on a fortuitous
machine)But you are not changed for these. ie its the lines on the graphs that actully affect billing (see Jons equations in the same thread) ... i.e. you get a instance sitting around ready to serve a request at a moments notice. For free. Bonus. (or another way, its better for Google to not bother tearing it down, only to have to put it back later) On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 12:27 PM, Tim Hoffman <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > > Just got the email saying issue "We need to be able to set > "Max-Idle-Instance" to 0" > http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5764 wont be > fixed. > > In that case there is a problem with the scheduler not shutting down idle > instances. > > My app your-pond, has a single instance that has been running for over 10 > hours, serviced 11 requests during that time and the last one > was about an hour ago. > > Total number of instances Average QPS* Average Latency* Average Memory 1 > total 0.000 Unknown ms 51.0 MBytes *Instances *[image: > help]<http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/adminconsole/instances.html> > QPS*Latency*RequestsErrorsAgeMemoryAvailability > 0.000 0.0 ms 11 0 10:59:52 51.0 MBytes [image: Dynamic Icon]Dynamic Request > graph for the last 6 hours. > > [image: Requests/Second (24 hrs)] > Instances graph for the same period > > [image: Requests/Second (24 hrs)] > Notice the graph of instances actually only shows instances for the periods > when requests where made, however the instances view > tells a different story.
