Is the App Engine daily spending limit still getting enforced?

[harshit117]

I have a Python2 app running on GAE. 

A few hours ago when I visited the website, I saw the message 'The application is currently over its serving quota. Please try again later.'

In the application settings, I found that the daily spending limit was set to $50 and that limit for reached for the day. Hence, I thought increase the quota might solve the issue.

However, according to this doc,

"""Spending limits are deprecated. As of December 12, 2019, you can no longer create new spending limits, and existing spending limits will be removed on or after July 24, 2021. For information about other mechanisms to manage costs, see managing costs."""

Therefore, ideally the spending limits should not have been applied. 

I just wanted to check if my above understanding is correct or are spending limits still applied?

If spending limits are not applied, can you please tell me how I can find the reason of my app showing the 'over the serving quota' message.

Hello @harshit117,

Your understanding is correct. As mentioned in the documentation "Spending Limits" feature is deprecated last July 24, 2021.

If you need more than 2 GB of memory I would recommend switching to App Engine Flexible or a Compute Engine instance.

Hi @christianpaula, if the daily spending limit is no longer applied, what might be other reasons for seeing the out of quota message 'The application is currently over its serving quota. Please try again later.' ?

If you need more than 2 GB of memory I would recommend switching to App Engine Flexible or a Compute Engine instance.

I do not think that we were facing a memory issue as we run instances with 1GB memory, and the app is set to scale automatically.

Hi @harshit117,

Thanks for the response. I would highly suggest to contact Google Cloud Support for this matter.

Thank you.
