Paste a line item from your invoice and find what it bills for, across the Google Cloud services covered so far.

IP addresses

Static and ephemeral external addresses, idle or not.

External IP Address

Google charges for external IP addresses by the hour. A reserved address sitting idle costs more than one attached to a running instance. That inversion is deliberate: it is a nudge to release addresses you are hoarding.

Billed: Per address-hour. Reserved addresses that are NOT attached to a running resource are charged at a higher rate than attached ones.
