Cloud Run doesn't bill when idle; it only bills when active.
So if you're at 50% capacity with lots of idle time, it can scale to 0.
Scale to 0 doesn't mean "cold". One easy way to keep both Cloud Run and Container Apps "warm" but functionally scaled to 0 for costs is to just ping it every few minutes with Cloud Scheduler set up on a cron pointing to a health endpoint.
