Yes indeed, you are correct. The new scheduler is geared up for the new model and as such doesn't use the always on instances as much. So it is probably 72 instance hours per day higher than it should be.
As long as we are talking about this, someone also reminded me of is that I haven't been stressing often enough that Max Idle Instances is your friend if you want to save money. As Jon outlined in another post on the group, it does 2 things: - Suggests to the scheduler the maximum number of idle instances that should be running - *Caps what we will charge you for in terms of idle instances*. This basically means even if your instance graph shows 40 idle instances, if you have it set to 1, we will only charge you for 1. An useful formula to understand is: billable instances = min(active-instances + max-idle-instances, total-instances) Let me know if you have additional questions about this.
