Hey Christian, It could just be that you hit some period of latency for a service. Was your average latency higher than normal?
It is possible that reducing the max latency could help. That will encourage App Engine to spin up new instances more willingly. For apps where user experience is important I like to run with a low max latency. Keep in mind that if your app has crappy startup times it could be worse for the user, since they'll have to sit there waiting on an instance. You could also attempt to adjust your idle instances values. Think of your idle instances as a "buffer" to handle bursts of new traffic. There's probably no reason to have a lot of idle instances for most apps. I've found having 5 or 10 is sufficient for apps with good startup times and smooth (even if steep) traffic ramp ups.
