I'm pretty sure this is expected behaviour.  I agree the terminology is 
confusing though.  It's more "time since server creation" rather than 
"uptime".

I suspect the origin of the term is that typically with a public cloud 
you get billed for the whole time your server is defined.  In a typical 
"cloud" environment you would rarely shut down a server--it's either 
running or you destroy it completely and rebuild a new one if needed in 
the future.
