With autoscaling enabled for your cluster you can scale down a certain node pool to 0 (beginning with Kubernetes version 1.7), but not the whole cluster (there will always be at least one node needed) since there are system pods that need to be scheduled. See: https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/docs/cluster-autoscaler#minimum_and_maximum_node_pool_size
This can work for your use case if you can accept a one node cluster working overnight.
