Hey Edward, It sounds as though some of your instances were migrating to the newest version of the runtime (1.9.34), and it's possible that the new version caused the instances to spin up in strange ways. This should never affect your billing or cause you to go over the daily budget, so you should contact Billing <https://support.google.com/cloud/contact/cloud_billing_internal?rd=1> to get that sorted out immediately. I wish you the best of luck in contacting them.
As far as the reason for the instances restarting once killed, this could have something to do with the autoscaler's perception of your request load, and the configuration you gave in your app.yaml, but it could also be a behaviour of the version of the 1.9.34 runtime which some of you instances were using. You can feel free to ask about this in the case that you open with billing. This is about all the advice I can give you from looking at the graphs and reading your post. Again, I wish you the best of luck in getting a good resolution to your issues here.
