Charging fee for BGP prefix per /24?!

Hi,

My recent inquiry to some network provider reveals that they are
charging fee for per /24 announced. Obvious that would means they get
to charge a lot with little to none efforts on their side.

In a world we are charging total bytes transferred instead of bps on
uplinks, i can't say I'm surprised that much. But does anyone else had
same experience? Did you pay? Is this the new status quo now?

Thanks.
