Are you being sarcastic? > I think the big problem is that usage collection is a few days out of date, at least for GCP. Autoscaling can react in seconds to increased load, but it takes about 3 days before that shows up on your cost reports. That does not sound like a good reason, but more like a crappy implementation of usage collection. I don’t see why a bunch of Google engineers can’t implement real-time billing properly, and see no reason to defend their inability to do their job.
