You should never be charged for more than: Active Instance + Max Idle instances, even if the scheduler keeps more than Max Idle instances around.
Setting Min-Pending-Latency to 60ms instruct the scheduler to wait at least 60ms if all the instances are busy before deciding to spawn a new instance for handling an incoming request. You can maximize existing instance usage over new instance creation by increasing that value, but this could come at the expense of increasing request latency. Hope that helps.
