The rate has an expiration date
Google explicitly dates the introductory rates through December 31, 2026. A monthly forecast that crosses January must split token volume between the two periods. Search and Maps grounding share 5,000 free requests or prompts per month, then cost $14 per 1,000; those tool charges are not token rates.
