Wasn't that five years ago? When it came out of preview (and prices were expected to change)?

  It was - 2011 is mentioned in both article and my comment. I just wish Google wouldn't bring back memories of that by not disclosing pricing of a very promising API. GAE has moved quite far ahead since then, but many people still won't consider it after the bad experience. Perceptions die hard...

    They probably are using usage data in the free period to drive decisions on pricing.

      Sure, would expect nothing less, but I'm also sure they have some sense of the range they are looking for. Such a range could help developers to establish whether their use case is viable or not. As is, the ambiguity is a deterrent from too much time investment.

        Or the data determines that they have to price outside the hypothetical early-release range, and then you have people complaining that you lied.
