As with today, if you want to keep instances running all the time you will
likely have to pay something.  But if you have a very low traffic app and
set Min Idle Instances to 1, that will use your free 24 instance hours, and
then when you get traffic it could temporarily spin up instances which would
be paid for.

Without knowing more detailed information about your application setting Min
Idle Instances to 1 and Max Idle Instance to 1, then Min Pending Latency to
a reasonable level for you (maybe 200ms?) that will minimize how frequently
the Scheduler will create new instances.

Yes, if you always have 1 idle instance running you'll likely go at least
somewhat above the free quota.  But again, that is the same as it is today,
in order to keep Always On instances running you need to pay something for
it.

I hope that helps answer some of your questions!
