You are conflating min-idle-instances and max-idle-instances, which
are different concepts. My statement was only with respect to
min-idle-instances, and is still correct. min-idle-instances was
removed on 2011/08/31-19:49:59 (by you disabling Always-On) and then
set to 3 on 2011/09/11-09:47:38 (by you re-enabling Always-On).

Your previously posted graph covered the time period before this last
change, which is why it shows 0 instances at times. Your instance
graph now (or otherwise after your latest change) looks correct, with
the number of instances hovering between 3 and 6.
