Hmm, you must be talking about something else, but there's a "min/max instances" slider in the console. I have set it to 1 for many of my apps, and they never go over 1 (or at least I don't get billed for it).

I only have that slider for idle instances, which you aren't charged for. It is limiting the active instances I am talking about.

Yeah, you're right. It has just never spawned more active instances than that slider is set to, for me.

All it takes is some unwanted traffic and appengine will be happy to start an unlimited number of instances for you.
