I have multiple small Google App Engine projects, made with php & mysql (=cloudSQL) and various frontends. It has been good, not needing to update these projects every months because they hardly bring any revenue but help to save some time. Now after needing to update some old php5 GAE project I noticed that google is now forcing you from old app engine cron to "Google cloud scheduler" The pricing OF COURSE increases from zero to whatever Old model had max. 99 jobs for free per project. Now it's only 3 jobs for free per billing account (not per project!)
Quote from new pricing page: "Each Google billing account gets 3 jobs per month free. Note that the free tier is measured at the account level not the project level. For example, if your account has 5 projects with 2 jobs each, you will have 3 free jobs and 7 paid jobs."
Quote from console: "Manage your Cron jobs in Cloud Scheduler" "All of your existing Cron jobs are now available in Cloud Scheduler. Your existing jobs haven't changed. The new page requires Cloud Scheduler API enabled, and roles/cloudscheduler.viewer IAM role granted."
So is there any workaround for this ? I have many many daily cron jobs and do not want to start to pay for them extra.
