There is a 15 minute 'tax' per 'instance startup', once an instance starts you are billed for 15 minutes longer than its actully needed.
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/adminconsole/instances#Instance_Billing One request every 15 minute for a day, could use the full 24 hours of instance time. ie the instance is running the whole time, and therefore 'billed'. But 100 requests over the space of 1 minute, would use about 16 minutes of instance time. This roughly equates to the fact that a instance normally stays alive for at least 15 minutes after the last request - in the hope that it will then be available for another request. It may or may not be shutdown at that point, but you wont be billed for it its time if it doesnt (well depending on your maximum idle instances setting). ... so your 100 requests happen roughly over a 10 hour period of the day, the rest of the time there is no requests.
