I'm quite unhappy about the new pricing. The "pay per usage" model was the main reason I chose GAE. On the old model, I could handle a reasonable amount of traffic with just paying $9/month for getting 3 reserved instances. Letting my users get loading requests is bad since my loading requests take 10 seconds. Now it looks like I'll have to pay $45/month ($9/mo for premium + $36/mo for 1 reserved instance), and even paying that much, my users will experience more loading requests since there will only be 1 reserved instance instead of 3.
