When you say 15 minutes, you are probably referring to https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/backends/overview#Billing_Quotas_and_Limitswhere it says, "In general, backend usage is billed on an hourly basis based on the backends uptime. Billing begins when the backend starts and ends fifteen minutes after the backend shuts down." The 15 minute rule only applies to billing, not runtime. Backends can be shut down for several reasons, detailed here: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/backends/overview#ShutdownSince you managed to fix the problem by eliminating JARs, the problem was most likely that your app overran the maximum memory allotted.

There should be logs from the backend explaining why it was shut down. If you don't see them, try this: go to Logs, open up the dropdown list on that page, and select the name of the backend from that list. ----------------- -Vinny P Technology & Media Advisor Chicago, IL My Go side project: http://invalidmail.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
