Based on the screenshots above and the multiple reports in this thread, 
something seems off (or unexplained) with regards to billing for GAE 
Standard / Free tier apps.  Can one of the affected in this thread reply 
privately to me with the following information?
1. Project ID of an affected project
2. A date that you noticed the change in frontend instance hours billed for

That will help us target the investigation and, hopefully, bring us to a 
quicker understanding of the issue.
