$330 deducted from our credits just for enabling Apigee

[anjanesh]

A few days ago, I created a google a/c under my company a/c and so did my colleague. We both got Rs 32,000 in credits.

Both of us enabled Apigee API and I just created one proxy where as my colleague did nothing else - but today we both got a mail that we have $50 left in credits.

We immediately deleted both our projects.

I don't get how $330 got deducted just for enabling the Apigee API.

I'm assuming you have also created an Apigee PAYG instance ie Apigee gateway node/s, and potentially as part of provisioning this, other additional networking such as load balancers. These all incur costs

Yes, this was our PAYG accounts using our work addresses.But this is a bit misleading to use Apigee at a minimum $750 / mo even if we wanted to just test it out.

The evaluation would be more appropriate rather than a PAYG account
