Due to frequent timing out, I want to start paying for my application. I am
having a hard time understanding how much I should be paying. There is a
weekly minimum of $2.10 which would put me at a daily minimum of $0.03. I’m
not sure if this will do anything to help stop the timing out. How do I
find out besides trial and error with different amounts? Also, what is an
instance hour and should I be paying by discounted instant hours?
Unless you have heavy usage we have found that most people activate
the minimum which is $2.10 a week and rarely spend more than that.
Setting a maximum daily limit of $2.00 will protect you from things
getting out of control.

that's currently live, I decided to play it SAFE and put $10 per day as my
budget. All going great, but now twice when I go to log into to the
Aggregrate web interface to peek the data, I get a Google AppEngine message
telling something to the effect that I'm over the limit (gotta copy/paste
message next time!) or something to that effect. However when I go into
look at the cost, it's ONLY $0.50.
Estimated cost for the last hours:
[image: 5%]
$0.51 / $10.00*
Soooo, I haven't a clue why I'd get a message like that. I quickly went
onto my Android device and was able to download blank forms, start a new
form and submit the finalized form without any problems. I'll look into
this later. Next phase, I'm looking for self hosting and moving from
AppEngine...well, hopefully. 
rsklar, how many devices are being used in your survey and how BIG are your
records? The biggest piece of data for me is a 640X480px pic the data
collector takes for each response, so that's a size of about 140K max per
pic (plus the rest of the form data: all text) times 20 devices trying to
submit at any given time between 9am and 5pm. I know other people are
uploading huge volumes of data (audio, video, etc.).

If you use too much all at
once, it will lock out your website for a short interval of time. I doubt
it is possible to trigger this lock-out under ordinary usage, but I am
unfamiliar with the details; it is intended to prevent distributed denial
of service attacks from consuming all your daily quota.
The Log via https://appengine.google.com/ may contain useful clues as could
any banner messages on the AppEngine Dashboard.
