Hello, maybe it is due to your instance class. If I remember correctly one hour of an F2 is billed as two hours and F4 is billed as 4 hours. I think the base idea is that one hour represents one hour of F1. There is this part of the doc that helped us understand our cost when we are facing the same question:
" *Important:* When you view your bill <https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/reports>, you will not see the names of the individual instance classes in your billing line items. Instead, you see instance hours from the "B" classes reported as "Backend Instances", and instance hours from the "F" classes reported as "Frontend Instances". The bill will apply the appropriate multiple of instance hours for each instance class you use. For example, if you use an F4 instance for one hour, you see "Frontend Instance" billing for four instance hours at the F1 rate." It is extracted from https://cloud.google.com/appengine/pricing.
