How can I tell an Google App Engine app to stop itself?

At a high level: When deployed, I want my Google App Engine app to run through some code and then stop the program automatically once it's finished, so that I don't have to manually stop the versions or instances using the UI.

I tried using the both the stop and delete instances in the Google Compute Engine API here: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/latest/instances/delete

When I do that it gives me a successful response with a status equal to 'PENDING.' But when I look at the logs for the app, rather than stopping it looks like it's just repeating the code that I deployed over and over again, which I interpret as, "Oh it must not be stopping the app/instances then."

Am I doing something wrong? Is there another way to tell a Google App Engine app to stop itself?

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but it seems like you want the App Engine Admin API, rather than the Compute Engine API. I think setting servingStatus via app.services.versions.patch is probably what you want, but I'm not sure.
