What is the quota limit of Google Analytics 4 Bigquery link

Question

I activated google analytics 4 bigquery linking, and it works correctly. I wonder what is the limitation of this link. Api metrics shows that link using api methods below.

google.cloud.bigquery.v2.JobService.GetJob
google.cloud.bigquery.v2.JobService.GetQueryResults
google.cloud.bigquery.v2.JobService.InsertJob
google.cloud.bigquery.v2.TableDataService.List

But I can't found the exact match API name on bigquery documents.

https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/quotas

https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/rest/v2/jobs/insert?hl=ja

Any ideas? Thanks.

Answer 1

The limit for how many hits you can export from the free version of GA4 to BigQuery is 1M hits per day.

Standard properties have a daily BigQuery Export limit of 1 million events. If your property consistently exceeds the export limit, the daily BigQuery export will be paused and previous days’ exports will not be reprocessed.

If you go above that, Google will stop your pipeline.

There are only two solutions to overcome this that I know of.

1. Upgrade to GA360
2. Use Parallel Tracking

Answer 2

Once you set up the link from GA360 to BigQuery, as far as I know, there is no limit to this link. According to the document, usually GA sends data 3 times a day to BigQuery. You will see partitioned table for GA data in BigQuery for each day. (This link is only available in Analytics 360, which is not free.)
