I'm seeing consistent spikes in public networking traffic, listed under the metrics tab on my service, despite not having either a domain or TCP proxy enabled on the service.
Even though it is small, would this affect billing, and is this intentional? I would imagine that if no public networking is enabled, I shouldn't see any metrics pointing towards the ingress/egress of traffic over public networking, like on my other services.

Your Database service has Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) enabled, which periodically uploads WAL segments and base backups to a storage bucket over the public network. Those uploads are what show as public network traffic in the metrics chart, even without a domain or TCP proxy - "public network" in this context includes any outbound (egress) traffic to the internet, not just inbound. This is billed as network egress at $0.05/GB, but at the volumes you're seeing (10-30 KB intervals) the cost is effectively zero.
