Nice one mate, very handy.

Any idea why your screenshot shows a $4.28 estimate for the month? It says the first 744 hours are free (aka 31 days), so it's odd it would show that estimate.

Yeah I'm assuming that's just how much it would cost if it wasn't on the free tier 🤷 but it's definitely free. I've been running it for a few months.

About showing the amount charged this is how Google billing works it shows you much resources you used and then subsidizes it at the end of billing period so you would know using same resources after consuming your free tier you have an idea how much you will be charged.
