Four quotas provide project- and per-user-level controls over token consumption by BigQuery generative AI functions. These guardrails can help teams run AI workloads over large datasets without leaving usage budgets entirely unbounded.

What

BigQuery adds daily token quotas for generative AI functions, managed through the IAM quota system at project and per-user scope.

How

The quotas are global across regions; output limits count thinking tokens, while embedding functions are excluded.

Why it matters

For teams running LLM functions across large datasets, token quotas provide budget guardrails that administrators can adjust as workloads change.
