There are several reasons why BigQuery Export might still be paused even though your daily event volume is now below the limit:
Delay in Processing: There might be a delay in processing your updated configuration, especially if you recently removed events to fall below the limit. While a 24-hour wait is a reasonable guideline, the actual time for changes to take effect can vary.
Cumulative Limit: Check if there’s a cumulative limit on the amount of data that can be exported over a certain period (e.g., weekly or monthly). Even if your daily events are below the limit, exceeding this cumulative limit might still pause the export.
Other Limits: Be aware of other potential limits, such as the number of concurrent queries or the size of the data being exported. Exceeding these limits can also lead to a temporary pause in BigQuery Export.
To proceed, consider the following steps:
Wait and Monitor: Allow some time for the changes to be processed. If the service is critical and the issue persists, proceed to the next steps without unnecessary delay.
Check for Notifications: Review any email notifications from Google Cloud regarding limit breaches. These notifications often provide specific information about the exceeded limit and steps to resolve the issue.
Consult Official Documentation: Refer to the official Google Cloud documentation for BigQuery Export limits and quotas. This can help identify the specific limit that was exceeded. The correct link for BigQuery quotas and limits is: BigQuery Quotas & Limits.
Contact Google Cloud Support: If the issue remains unresolved or is complex, reach out to Google Cloud support for specialized assistance.
Community forums or discussions, such as those on Stack Overflow, where similar issues and solutions might be shared by other users.
By following these steps and utilizing the provided resources, you should be able to identify the cause and find a solution to resume your BigQuery Export effectively.
