The actual pricing that Reddit was going to charge ($12k/50million calls) was never shared until 30 days before it was set to go live. If the pricing hadn't been modeled after Twitter and been more reasonable, then 3rd party app developers wouldn't have been happy about the 30 day notice but it would have at least been possible to hit that deadline.
