How often does estimated monthly storage update?
Hi Terra,
How often does estimated monthly storage cost update? I was of the impression that it is every morning but, over the past couple of months, I have noticed many workspaces taking several days or longer to update.
I could not find any formal documentation of this feature but found this forum post requesting a "last updated" string, which would be lovely. https://support.terra.bio/hc/en-us/community/posts/360043868592-estimated-storage-costs-should-show-last-updated?page=1#community_comment_360013659651

Hi Jason,
I deleted the underlying data in a couple of workspace's buckets with gsutil about a week ago. As of Tuesday they were not updated but they are now. Can you give some insight into how frequently Terra will update the cost estimate? Does it need to be triggered by something?

Hi Brendan,
To estimate storage costs we use Google's provided storage log file, which is generated daily. We discovered recently, however, that Google does not seem to generate a new file in the case that the bucket is emptied and has no contents. The "trigger" so to speak would be that the bucket has contents.
Does this seem accurate with your experience? One of our engineering teams has an item on their backlog to handle cases where the bucket is empty and reflect that accurately in the estimate.
Kind regards,
Jason
