BigQuery Storage 15% Price Reduction — Active Storage Now $0.02/GB/Month

📅 August 2025 ✍️ TCOIQ Analysis ⚡ Medium Impact

GCP reduced BigQuery active storage from $0.023/GB to $0.020/GB — 13% reduction. Long-term storage (90+ days unchanged query) remains $0.010/GB. No change to query pricing ($5/TB on-demand).

TCOIQ: For data teams with large BigQuery datasets, this saves 13% on active storage costs automatically. More impactfully — if you have not implemented BigQuery partitioning and clustering, doing so now reduces QUERY costs by 60-80% which far outweighs the storage saving.

13% storage saving auto-applied — but partitioning + clustering reduces query costs 60-80% which is far more impactful
