Yep. I used it once for a personal project involving GHTorrent [0], and each query was about $20. That may be peanuts for a business, but for someone playing around on their own, it's incredibly prohibitive.

On billions of records my query costs were generally less than a cent. But I partitioned and clustered on the key fields.

Either the website this is referring to got hacked or you sold it. Either way, this probably shouldn’t be linked on HN.

EDIT: The site no longer exists, it seems. The project (which is not my creation) was a regularly-updated dump of all GitHub metadata (PR comments, Issues, etc.). Here's an archive snapshot: https://web.archive.org/web/20220126060859/https://ghtorrent...
