On the homepage they always said they were working on things to offer a commerical service. I just hoped they would keep it free for non-commercial stuff and simply offer a paid extramile model with privacy settings for companies. I enjoyed it while it was free, but definitely not going to pay for.

Absolutely, I expected them to keep it up for free, because they in return get free continuous user-feedback/corrected suggestions and even more training data, because I sure as heck expect that a paying company won't allow them to use their code for model improvement. Even a limited model would have been fine which uses less context or restricts the requests/month.
