It's been pretty conclusively determined on these groups that those extra instances don't cost you anything, as long as you keep the idle instances slider over to the left in App Settings. It has also been stated by our google overlords that these freebie instances are more prevalent in the HRD cluster because it is underutilized. As more apps move from M/S to HRD, they expect that the freebies will drop off.
