I clicked the “pay as you go” because it made sense - just doing a helloworld, won’t need to pay much, right? Also the “provisioning method” was “Google Cloud console”. I’m new, so I wanted to use the console, not the CLI.
Then I got to this page, and I clicked this button:
I went to Billing in the console, in the “Reports” I could see the fee was generated by the new apigee test project I made, but no details can be seen in the “Cost table” or “Cost breakdown” section.
My “support plan” doesn’t allow me to contact billing support in person, so I’m posting here. I believe the whole thing seems pretty crazy?
Have a look here for some examples of PAYG pricing. PAYG offers no upfront commitment and pay only for what you use, however it is not serverless, i.e. you pay for:
The number of Apigee gateway nodes in the Apigee organization
The number of API requests processed by Apigee Analytics services
The amount of network usage
The billing rate for nodes is $1.025 per Apigee gateway node per hour, so if you set up your organization and leave it running ready to accept API calls, you will incur costs. Have a look here for information on how to discontinue PAYG consumption. An Apigee Evaluation organization may be a better fit for you at this time, have a look here for more details.
Thanks, I was finally able to get in touch with support. (There was a very non-intuitive button of “contact billing support” inside the chat support UI which doesn’t look like a button, so I didn’t know it was clickable when I first saw it)
