Google App Engine Instance Hours and Free Quotas

Am using Google App Engine for the first time, but am a bit confused about the 'instance hours' and 'free quotas'. If I go for a 'Frontend' F instance, it says 28 free 'instance hours'. However, the pricing page has this imp info

https://cloud.google.com/appengine/quotas#Instances enter image description here

https://cloud.google.com/appengine/pricing#standard_instance_pricing enter image description here

Does this means that if I have a single F4 instance running for 7hours, that'll amount to 7 * 4=28 instance hours? Or if I have a single F2 instance running for 14hours, that'll be 14 * 2 = 28 instance hours? Essentially, I'll end up eating up my free daily quota much quicker the higher I go in the instance type?

Yes, you are correct. You can use this Pricing Calculator to help you estimate the costs in your project.

Additionally, to help you monitor your app costs, you can create a budget alert to receive notifications when you reach your costs limit.
