You can try having your Max Idle Instances at 1, but leave your Min Pending Latency to a small number. This allows additional instances to spin up to handle other requests, but will not increase your Total Instance Hour significantly, as you will now only be charged for Active Instance (the orange line) instead of Total Instance (the blue line). The Scheduler will spin up additional instances to handle your request but you only pay for them when they are actually active.
Once the free quota for Total Instance Hours increase to 28 it shouldn't be too hard to remain under that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
