I was chosen to use the preview and the pricing was originally was $0.02 storage and $0.01 transfer without the first $5. I guess that most of the people spent a lot less than $5. Increasing the minimum spend to 5 should give them a great profit for the people that don't use it that much. I don't know what will happen if a lot of people start using it a lot.

That's almost always a nice problem to have. If it was profitable in small scale usage, then it's usually profitable in widespread usage once economies of scale have been applied.
