If you need to change where your billing data is exported in BigQuery or stop exports altogether, you can update your settings directly in the Cloud Console. Here’s how.
📋 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Go to the Billing Export settings page.
- Select the billing account you want to update.
- Under the export type (e.g., Detailed usage cost), click Edit settings.
- To stop exporting, click Disable Export and confirm.
- To change the dataset or project, update the fields as needed and click Save.
✅ Expected Outcome
Billing data will either stop flowing to BigQuery or begin exporting to the new dataset you’ve specified. Changes take effect quickly, but may take a few hours to reflect in reports.
🛠️ Troubleshooting Tips
- Can’t edit settings? You may need the Billing Account Administrator role.
- New dataset not showing data? Ensure the destination project has billing export permissions.
