What stays free, and what will not
A clear line: anything that costs nothing to run is free. Anything with a per-use bill from a third party goes in the paid tier.

How the meeting meter works
The meetings screen shows participant-minutes used against the allowance you set, so you see the limit before you reach it. Use the bandwidth estimator to forecast a month.
