The latter, once you setup a dyno you're getting build hourly for it.

Yes, dynos are billed hourly, but I think he was asking whether he
gets billed if the dynos sit there unused. The answer is yes - if you
set the dynos to 8, you'll be paying 35 cents an hour regardless of
how much traffic they're actually processing.

So, a cheap man (wise also) could use heroku's API to auto throttle
the dynos each day?
Say, his app is for whatever reason, US centric, or even pacific time
zone only, he could then target a certain set of hours, 8-5 and set
the 8 dynos to the ready at 7:59am, and then then come 5 o'clock mark
Or potentially you could even write your own app to auto-scale a
heroku app yourself based solely on your own usage? ie if the app
maxes out its resources it can simply spawn a new dyno... etc.
Or am I missing something?

Nope, you're missing nothing. You can 100% do that, and we have customers
doing that already. For fun recursion, you can include the heroku gem in
your app, and just call heroku dynos X from you app itself. :)
