Billing
Usage is billed directly by Google Cloud, based on the structure outlined in the pricing section.
BigQuery GA4 raw event data which is processed into a destination table or storage bucket counts directly towards your monthly consumption.
Only event date partitions which are successfully processed count towards your monthly consumption, and only the first time each partition is processed on any given date (UTC).
Metadata-driven executions to install and run Decode GA4 do not count towards your monthly consumption.
This means that you can test execution of the install_decode_ga4 function during testing, implementation and automation without incurring costs.
The RUN function can also be called multiple times a day if required, without counting towards your monthly consumption.
Additional custom transformations (for example, the statistics output table) added to the configuration also do not count towards your monthly consumption.
