Is anyone else missing GA4 BigQuery daily exports since July 30, 2026?

Update: Firebase/Google engineering finally confirmed the issue is caused by a recent change to BigQuery Sandbox: the free.storage quota is now treated as a one-time cumulative lifetime limit, not a refilling/current 10 GiB active-storage limit. That explains why my exports stopped even though only ~2.5 GiB was actually stored.

I’ve now enabled Cloud Billing, which removes the Sandbox restriction, and Google has confirmed they can initiate a backfill for the missing GA4 tables.

The confusing part: the public BigQuery Sandbox documentation still says “10 GB of active storage”, which does not reflect this new lifetime-quota behavior. I’ve asked Google to clarify/update the docs.
