On Friday 5/9/14 at around 16:30 NZDT (GMT +12) we had the number of instances at our application (mediawise-job-queue) exponentially increase (over 100 instances) with no increase in load. Ending up with a final instance bill of Frontend Instance Hours $0.05/Hour 320.74 28.00 292.74 $14.64 Discounted Instance Hour $0.05/Hour 50.00 0.00 50.00 $2.50
We only managed to stop this behaviour when we disabled the app and then re enabled it. During this time we had our application shut down (as we exceeded the limit) and were charged an additional $15.00. I have submitted a billing issue (in the hopes that someone actually reads those) and I will do a production issue too. I guess I'm posting here to let people know that if you get this behaviour (a rogue scheduler??) that the enable and disable action seems to work.
