FWIW, your app would have been a problem under the old pricing model as well. The only difference WRT the datastore is that instead of being charged "datastore operations" you were charged a magic number of "api_cpu_ms" per operation. The pricing model is pretty much the same, it's just more expensive.
If you're churning through your datastore ops because you have 100 indexes, you would have churned through your CPU quota before. The problem is you're trying to update too many indexes. The only solution is "don't". BTW you only incur costs for index changes; if you re-put an entity without changing the index, you don't get charged for an index update.
