> After 3 months BigQuery storage ends up being about half the cost of object storage if you use partitioned tables and don't edit the data.
It sounds like it's just standard GCS nearline pricing plus BigQuery margin fee. Raw nearline is cheaper to store, but has a per-GB access fee that'll hurt if you re-process old logs.
Interestingly, BigQuery's streaming read free tier of 300 TB/mo makes BigQuery a fun hack to store your old-but-read-more data into, even if it's e.g. backups blobs.
