It is possible that the BigQuery sandbox account could be causing the delay in daily updates to your table. Although the query processing limitation of 1 terabyte is substantial, it is possible that your table is encountering other sandbox limitations.
To determine if any specific limitations are causing the delay, you can use the BigQuery Audit Log to view the history of all operations performed on your table. The Audit Log will show you the type of operation, the timestamp, and the status of the operation. However, it's essential to note that detailed audit logs might not be available in the sandbox environment without the appropriate permissions or configurations. If you see any errors or failures in the Audit Log, this could indicate a limitation being exceeded.
If you suspect you are exceeding one of the sandbox limits, here are a few potential solutions or workarounds:
- Upgrade to a Paid BigQuery Account: Paid accounts have fewer restrictions compared to the sandbox environment.
- Batch Your Updates: Instead of performing many small updates throughout the day, batch them together into a single, larger update.
- Use a Streaming Data Platform: If you need to update your table in real-time, consider using platforms like Cloud Dataflow or Cloud Pub/Sub. However, note that streaming data directly into BigQuery is not available in the sandbox environment.
In addition to the above, here are some other things you can check to troubleshoot the issue:
- Ensure that the user account or service account performing the updates has the necessary permissions.
- Check the BigQuery job log for any errors or warnings.
- Try querying the table directly to see if the data is up-to-date. However, if there are limitations causing the delay, querying might not provide the expected results.
