This is one reason Eng leaders like flat rate cost infra. You tell your team I’ve allocated N$ of compute for analytics. And if there’s slowdowns from too much traffic the team will reschedule their work around it. Where-as BQ and its “infinite” scale encourages more and more work. Up until the bill far outweighs the benefit it brought the organization. Sure you can design around this. But it’s great things like BQ flat rate exist as a middle ground.
