hi Ken,

in the app engine:

For resident instances, billing ends fifteen minutes after the backend is shut down.

For dynamic instances, billing ends fifteen minutes after the last request has finished processing.

and we have a free quota, but in the google cloud sql we need turn off manually?

No, Cloud SQL will automatically shut down your instance when it is idle and spin it up when it gets a request. If you have an instance that you use for 2.5 hours, Cloud SQL will wait an extra 15 minutes to see if there are any more requests coming.  Once the instance has been idle for 15 minutes, Cloud SQL will shut it down.  Since billing is done in one hour increments, you will be charged for 3 hours.  All of that depends on you selecting the per use billing plan:

See the examples at the bottom of that page for more details.
