It seems to have the same pricing like the other storage classes: No fees for accessing the files within the same region and the typical bandwidth fees if the backups will be downloaded to somewhere else.

Intuitively there is some cost for retrieval. Otherwise you'd just use the cold storage to store everything.

Like every cloud storage file access costs money, so the operation to access it. But its so minimal its basically non existent for a backup solution.

Nearline and Coldline have a per-byte retrieval cost in addition to the increased-but-still-low cost per operation.
