I am using flexible environment. I setup a billing account and set the following:
Budget: 0.01$
Daily Spending Limit: 0.01$
But I am already being charged 5$. How is that possible? This is the line which tells me where the charges are comming from:
App Engine Flex Instance Core Hours 5,769 Minutes $5.06
App Engine Flex Instance RAM 96.15 GB-hour $0.68
Google Compute Storage PD Capacity 1.43 GB-month $0.06
This is what my budget looks like
Specified amount This billing account 50%
$7.25 / $0.01
as you can see it shows a even higher charge..
I thought if you set a daily spending limit/budget it will just stop serving request and wait until the free quota is available again the next day.. That is what I want for now, I don't need this server running 24/7 at the moment and charging my card.
I disabled the application for now, but that can't be a solution.. I don't want to have to disable/enable the server every time I want to work on it. Do I have to unlink my credit card? I just want the server to stop overcharging me, and stop serving requests once the free quota is over.
This is what I have set in the AppEngine panel
Enabled (Daily spending limit: $0.01) Settings
Quotas reset every 24 hours. Next reset: 12 hrs
Am I doing something wrong?
please have a look at following link

For me it sounds that spending limit is only available for the standard environment and not for the flexible environment.
Anyway application at the flexible environment are always running 24 hours with one instance and not like the standard enviroment which shutsdown after some time. This behaviour for flexible environment is described in this article
