I was pleasantly surprised to see that the previous rather crazy retrieval pricing model (price based on the peak retrieval bandwidth you used at any time in the current month) was replaced by a straight price-per-GB model a couple years back. That made my life a lot easier when pricing up Glacier vs B2 for a client.

It's built for off-site backup type workloads, where you write once and read hopefully never.

You are probably using it wrong.
