Set bucket Requester Pays

By default, buckets do not have Requester Pays enabled. To enable or disable Requester Pays for an existing bucket you make a PUT request that is scoped to the bucket and you use the billing query string parameter. You must include an XML document in the request body that indicates whether you want to enable or disable the feature. You cannot set Requester Pays on a new bucket that you are creating.

You must have storage.buckets.update permission to enable or disable Requester Pays for an existing bucket.
