The following excerpts are from GTS Blog:
“Google stunned the development world by announcing in May, 2011 that they are deprecating the Language API family as of December this year, including the incredibly popular Translate API. The resulting public outcry caused Google to reverse its decision one week later and announce plans to release a paid version of Translate API. Google product manager Adam Feldman.
“I’m happy to share that we’re working hard to address your concerns, and will be releasing an updated plan to offer a paid version of the Translate API.”
But who wants to pay to use the Translate API? How many customers will join up? How much will they be willing to pay for it? Google has started to collect this information through its API Console. The courtesy quota,which is the limit you can use free-of-charge, is 100,000 characters a days. If you try and request a larger quota, you get a form asking for more details about your intended use.
Translate API Quota Request from Google website
Google is putting together the price list for translations, based on the market input they are collecting, and in my estimation will be releasing it soon.

That seems fair enough to me.
100,000 characters free-of-charge per day is ample for a translator.
Depending on language combination, this is can be be over 10,000 words per day, right?
I wonder how this will be implemented by SDL in Studio...

Yes, but if CAT Tool X uses Google Translate, do all users of the tool count up to the single "user" that Google identifies in its 100k character limit?
