The cost of the Google Cloud Spanner downtime database

After reviewing the price of the new Google relational database, it states that the cost is based on storage and use. They charge $ 0.9 per hour per node. Question: if I create a database for development and use it only 6 hours a day, 100 hours a month as a maximum ... Do I have to pay only for hours with active use (receiving requests) or for the whole month? Is the charge similar to instances of App Engine?

In the first case, you should not spend $ 90 on testing this new database, but if they charge a fee for the whole month (using it or not) ... the cost increases to $ 670 per month ...

Has anyone used this database and can use the total bill value?

In the tutorial, they recommend deleting the database after testing, but deleting the database and re-creating the database and data every day is not suitable for development.

That's right, you need to support at least 1 node to save data, and you need at least 1 node for every 2 TiB of data.

So, if you download 50 TiB of data, you need to save at least 25 nodes to maintain the data.

You charge for any resources in your instances (while the nodes are running and storage is used), even if you are not actively sending requests. This is similar to Compute Engine or Cloud SQL.
