This document provides reference information for the schema of Cloud Billing detailed usage cost data that's exported to each table in BigQuery.
The detailed usage cost data provides all of the information included in the standard usage cost data, along with additional fields that provide granular, resource-level cost data, like a virtual machine or SSD that generates usage. The detailed export includes granular cost information about the following services:

Detailed usage cost data schema
In your BigQuery dataset, your detailed Google Cloud
usage cost data is loaded into a data table named
gcp_billing_export_resource_v1_<BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID>.
When you use the detailed usage cost data in BigQuery, note the following:
- When selecting or creating a BigQuery dataset for your detailed usage cost data, you can select any dataset location that is supported for use with Cloud Billing data.
- When you enable the detailed usage cost data export for the first time in Cloud Billing, if you select a dataset configured to use a multi-region location (EU or US), Cloud Billing data will be available retroactively from the start of the previous month. Data is exported in chronological order. For the initial backfill of exported data, it might take up to five days for your retroactive Cloud Billing data to finish exporting before you start seeing your most recent usage data.
- If you enable the detailed usage cost data export and select a dataset that's configured to use a supported region location, your Cloud Billing data will be available starting from the date when you enabled the export.
- If you enabled, disabled, and subsequently re-enabled the detailed usage cost data export, the Cloud Billing data might not be available for the period when data export was explicitly disabled.
- Learn more about the frequency of the data loads into your BigQuery tables.
- See other limitations that might impact exporting your billing data to BigQuery, such as datasets with customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) enabled.
- Consider the additional data volume that your BigQuery tables might need and the additional cost when enabling detailed usage cost data instead of the standard usage cost data export. The increased granularity of resource-level information can increase the number of rows, which are aggregated in the standard usage cost format. We recommend that you review Control costs in BigQuery for further best practices in managing your BigQuery costs.

Understand standard and detailed usage cost data
The following sections describe the standard and detailed usage cost data exported to BigQuery.
About labels
The cost data for a specific label only shows usage from the date that the label
was applied to a resource. For example, if you add the label environment:dev
to a Compute Engine VM on January 15, 2024, any analysis for
environment:dev includes only the usage for that VM since January 15.
You might also see label data at different times for different services, depending on when each service provides it.
Available system labels
System labels are key-value pairs for important metadata about the resource that generated the usage. The following system labels are automatically included on applicable usage.
system_labels.key |
Example system_labels.value |
Description |
|---|---|---|
compute.googleapis.com/machine_spec |
n1-standard-1, custom-2-2048 | Configuration of the virtual machine. See Machine Types for more information. |
compute.googleapis.com/cores |
for n1-standard-4 this is 4; for custom-2-2048 this is 2 | The number of vCPUs available to the virtual machine. |
compute.googleapis.com/memory |
for n1-standard-4 this is 15360 (i.e. 15 GB * 1024 MB/GB); for custom-2-2048 this is 2048 | The amount of memory (in MB) available to the virtual machine. |
compute.googleapis.com/is_unused_reservation |
true; false | Indicates usage that was reserved through Zonal Reservations but not used. |
storage.googleapis.com/object_state |
live; noncurrent; soft_deleted; multipart | The state of the storage object being charged. |
Differences between exported data and invoices
Google Cloud products report usage and cost data to Cloud Billing processes at varying intervals. As a result, you might see a delay between your use of Google Cloud services, and the usage and costs being available to view in Cloud Billing. Typically, your costs are available within a day, but can sometimes take more than 24 hours.
At the end of a calendar month, late-reported usage might not be included on that month's invoice and instead might roll over to the next month's invoice.
When you query your costs using timestamp fields, your returned data might pick up late-reported usage that wasn't originally included on the invoice that was generated for the same usage month. As a result, the Cloud Billing data returned might not map directly to that invoice.
Timestamp fields include:
usage_start_timeusage_end_timeexport_time
To return Cloud Billing data that maps directly to an invoice, query on
invoice.month
instead of timestamp fields.
Taxes
As of September 1, 2020, your usage cost data shows your tax liability for each of your projects, instead of as a single line item. If you have queries or visualizations that depend on tax data, you might need to update the queries to account for these changes.
For example, for costs recorded before September 1, your usage cost data looks similar to the following example, which shows a total tax liability of $10.
billing_account_id |
project.id |
cost_type |
cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 123456-ABCDEF-123456 | example-project | Regular | $60 |
| 123456-ABCDEF-123456 | test-project | Regular | $40 |
| 123456-ABCDEF-123456 | [empty] | Tax | $10 |
For costs recorded after September 1, the $10 is broken down to $6 for
example-project, and $4 for test-project:
billing_account_id |
project.id |
cost_type |
cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 123456-ABCDEF-123456 | example-project | Regular | $60 |
| 123456-ABCDEF-123456 | test-project | Regular | $40 |
| 123456-ABCDEF-123456 | example-project | Tax | $6 |
| 123456-ABCDEF-123456 | test-project | Tax | $4 |
Errors and adjustments
In the rare event that your Cloud Billing data contains an error or requires an adjustment, it's appended with corrective data. These adjustments fall under one of two categories: billing modifications or corrections.
Billing modifications
Billing modifications appear as separate line items. If you received a billing modification, a new line item in your Cloud Billing export to BigQuery shows the change. The adjustments shown correspond to the invoice, credit memo, and debit memo documents available in the Documents area of the Billing section in the Google Cloud console.
For more information on billing modifications and how they're applied, see Understand memos and adjustments.
Corrections
Corrections appear as new data that negates incorrect data on the source SKUs. In some cases, new data replaces the incorrect charge. All columns in the billing data export will match the original data, except for the following columns:
costcreditusage.amountexport_time
For example, imagine that you're charged $10 for your usage of SKU A on
January 1. On your January invoice (issued in early February), you'll see a
charge of $10 for SKU A. However, on February 2, Google Cloud issued a
correction against SKU A, reducing the usage cost to $5. You'll receive
two additional line items on your February invoice (issued in early March):
- -$10 for usage on January 1 (negating the original charge)
- $5 for usage on January 1 (stating the intended charge)
These new items have an adjustment_info column in the billing data export. The
original January invoice, showing the overcharge, won't be adjusted.
You can verify your charges in your billing data export by viewing your
costs by usage_start_time and grouping by Day.
In these views, any corrections or charges for late-monetized usage are
accumulated, and you don't need to worry about any temporarily incorrect data.
If you want more detailed information on your corrections, view all charges in an invoice month, and look for charges where the usage date occurred before the invoice month. These charges are the results of corrections or late-monetized usage.
The following code sample shows how to create a basic query that returns the total cost of corrections or late-monetized usage:
SELECT
SUM(cost)
+ SUM(IFNULL((SELECT SUM(c.amount)
FROM UNNEST(credits) c), 0))
AS total
FROM `project.dataset.gcp_billing_export_v1_XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX`
WHERE
invoice.month = '202311' AND
DATE(TIMESTAMP_TRUNC(usage_start_time, Day, 'US/Pacific')) < '2023-11-01';
For a query example that returns a cost breakdown by service, for invoice charges, where the usage date occurred before the invoice month, see Query cost details to view corrections or late-monetized usage by service for a specified invoice month in "Example queries for Cloud Billing data export."
About promotional credits in custom pricing contracts
If you have a custom pricing contract, you might receive promotional credits to use on Google Cloud as part of the contract. For example, you might receive $1,000 to use on Compute Engine resources. Promotional credits are typically considered a form of payment. When available, promotional credits are automatically applied to reduce your total bill.
The terms of your contract specify whether the promotional credits apply to your costs calculated at the list price of a SKU, or the net price (after discounts).
If your promotional credits apply to costs that are calculated at the list
price, in the Cost table report, there's a service called Invoice,
with a SKU called Contract billing adjustment. This SKU adjusts your
credits so that they apply to the costs at list price. To see the usage that
the adjustment is for, query the system.labels columns. The key in
system.labels.key is cloud-invoice.googleapis.com/sku_id, and the value in
system.labels.value contains the SKU ID that the credit and the adjustment
applied to.
About tags
Tags are resources in the form of key-value pairs that can be attached to resources directly or through inheritance. You can use tags to perform chargebacks, audits, and other cost allocation analysis. You can also use tags and conditional enforcement of policies for fine-grained control across your resource hierarchy.
Tags have a robust permissions model and can support inheritance, centralized management, nomenclature standardization, and policy engine integration, while labels are a separate tool that allow you to annotate resources.
Tags data appears in BigQuery exports for Resources, Projects, Folders, and Organizations.
Available tags
The Standard costs and Detailed costs exports for Resources, Projects, Folders, and Organizations include these fields for tags data: Tags Key, Tags Value, Tags Inherited, and Tags Namespace.
Resource-level tags in the Cloud Billing data export are available for the following resources:
- AlloyDB for PostgreSQL clusters, instances, and backups
- Artifact Registry repositories
- Cloud Run services and jobs
- Cloud Storage buckets
- Compute Engine instances
- Memorystore for Redis instances
- Secret Manager secrets
- Spanner instances
Tags limitations
- Tags might take up to an hour to propagate to BigQuery exports. If a tag has been added or removed within an hour, or if a resource has existed for less than an hour, it might not appear in the export.
Detailed usage cost query examples
This section provides examples of how to query the Cloud Billing detailed usage cost data exported to BigQuery.
Because the detailed usage cost schema includes all of the fields from the standard usage cost schema, the query examples provided for the standard data exported to BigQuery also work with the detailed data that's exported. The standard query examples aren't written to retrieve any of the resource-level information that's provided with the detailed usage cost export option. When creating queries for the detailed data, you can use a standard query example as a template, update the Table name, and add any of the fields that are available in the detailed usage cost schema.
Common values used in the example detailed cost queries
The query examples in this section use the following value for Table name:
project.dataset.gcp_billing_export_resource_v1_XXXXXX_XXXXXX_XXXXXX
Return the resource-level costs on an invoice
The following queries demonstrate two ways of viewing resource-level cost and credit values on an invoice using exported billing data.
- The
totalfield directly sums the floating point cost and credit values, which can result in floating point rounding errors. - The
total_exactfield converts costs and credit values to micros before summing, then converts back to dollars after summing, avoiding the floating point rounding error.
Sum costs for each resource, per invoice
This query shows the invoice total for each resource.name per month, as a sum
of regular costs, taxes, adjustments, and rounding errors. Any costs not
associated with a resource-level item are aggregated under the name null
for the month.
Standard SQL
SELECT invoice.month, resource.name, SUM(cost) + SUM(IFNULL((SELECT SUM(c.amount) FROM UNNEST(credits) c), 0)) AS total, (SUM(CAST(cost * 1000000 AS int64)) + SUM(IFNULL((SELECT SUM(CAST(c.amount * 1000000 as int64)) FROM UNNEST(credits) c), 0))) / 1000000 AS total_exact FROM `project.dataset.gcp_billing_export_resource_v1_XXXXXX_XXXXXX_XXXXXX` GROUP BY 1, 2 ORDER BY 1 ASC, 2 ASC ;
For example, the result of the preceding query might be:
| Row | month | name | total | total_exact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 201901 | null | $1005.004832999999984 | $1005.00 |
| 2 | 201901 | backend1 | $781.8499760000028 | $781.85 |

| 5 | 201902 | bitnami-launchpad-wordpress-1-wordpress | $1.2817819999999998 | $1.28 |
Return details by cost type for each resource, per invoice month
This query shows the totals for each cost_type for each resource.name per
month. Cost types include regular costs, taxes, adjustments, and rounding
errors. Any costs not associated with a resource-level item are aggregated
under the name null for the month.
Standard SQL
SELECT invoice.month, cost_type, resource.name, SUM(cost) + SUM(IFNULL((SELECT SUM(c.amount) FROM UNNEST(credits) c), 0)) AS total, (SUM(CAST(cost * 1000000 AS int64)) + SUM(IFNULL((SELECT SUM(CAST(c.amount * 1000000 as int64)) FROM UNNEST(credits) c), 0))) / 1000000 AS total_exact FROM `project.dataset.gcp_billing_export_resource_v1_XXXXXX_XXXXXX_XXXXXX` GROUP BY 1, 2, 3 ORDER BY 1 ASC, 2 ASC, 3 ASC ;
For example, the result of the preceding query might be:
| Row | month | cost_type | name | total | total_exact |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 201901 | regular | null | $1000.501209987994782 | $1000.50 |

SELECT invoice.month AS invoice_month, tag.value AS cost_center, ROUND((SUM(CAST(cost AS NUMERIC)) + SUM(IFNULL((SELECT SUM (CAST(c.amount AS NUMERIC)) FROM UNNEST(credits) AS c), 0))), 2) AS net_cost FROM `project-ID.dataset.gcp_billing_export_resource_v1_XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX`, UNNEST(tags) AS tag WHERE tag.key = "cost_center" AND tag.namespace = "821092389413" GROUP BY invoice.month, tag.value ORDER BY invoice.month, tag.value;
For example, the result of the preceding query might be:
| Row | invoice_month | cost_center | net_cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 202208 | android_mobile_apps | 9.93 |
| 2 | 202208 | ios_mobile_apps | 9.93 |
| 3 | 202209 | android_mobile_apps | 25.42 |
| 4 | 202209 | ios_mobile_apps | 25.4 |
| 5 | 202209 | personalization | 16.08 |
View costs of untagged resources
This query shows the invoice total for untagged resources, grouped by invoice month.
SELECT invoice.month AS invoice_month, ROUND((SUM(CAST(cost AS NUMERIC)) + SUM(IFNULL((SELECT SUM(CAST(c.amount AS NUMERIC)) FROM UNNEST(credits) AS c), 0))), 2) AS net_cost FROM `project-ID.dataset.gcp_billing_export_v1_XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX` WHERE "color" NOT IN (SELECT key FROM UNNEST(tags)) GROUP BY invoice_month ORDER BY invoice_month;
For example, the result of the preceding query might be:
| Row | invoice_month | net_cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 202202 | 0 |
| 2 | 202203 | 16.81 |
| 3 | 202204 | 54.09 |
| 4 | 202205 | 55.82 |
| 5 | 202206 | 54.09 |
