In there mention firebase free account can read 50,000 documents per day.
But
in firebase pricing mention upto 1,500,000 documents free. Is this total limit? Or monthly limit (30 days * 50,000 (day limit)).If it's correct in a month when complete 1,500,000 then should add bank card to firebase?
The indicated limits on reads, writes, and deletes are monthly and are enforced daily chunks of 1/30th the indicated amount. So for document reads the free quota is 50,000 document reads per day.
When you reach that limit, read access to your database is blocked until the next day - or until you upgrade to the pay-as-you-go plan.

I am using firebase on a free plan (I don’t have billing enabled). As far as I’m aware, free users get 30gb of bandwidth per month. I was wondering if google would cap the bandwidth usage when I reach that limit of if I would continue using bandwidth and end up having to pay for it. Thanks in advance!
Edit: I'm asking about Firestore, not Cloud Storage
If you're on a free plan, if you reach a quota you get cut off, not charged. If you're on the blaze plan (with billing enabled), you get charged for usage over quotas.
However for Firestore, I can't imagine you hitting the bandwidth limit before you hit the read/write limit. Are you sure you're not talking about Firebase Realtime Database? (different product than Firebase Firestore)
I am a Google blaze plan user and I have an express server containing a simple endpoint that just pulls from firestore. During high traffic hours, I can retrieve 5000+ simultaneous read requests which eventually throws this error below,
Error: 8 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED: Quota exceeded.
After I wait a few minutes I am able to read the collection again.
Update:
Unsure why the downvotes without any explainations.. but I also have a Mutex system which I think may be leading to hitting these limits. If fails to lock a document using transactions, it goes down an array of snapshots until a lock is given. If the array becomes empty, it does another read to firebase for another set of N documents, which is only 50 in my case.
So my question is, is there a limit on the amount of transactions or reads per second that we're allowed to do from a single connection (my express server)? I don't think it's stated anywhere in the documents.
It looks like you're reaching one of the read/write/transaction limits stated in this page.
Might be this one Maximum writes per second per database: 10,000 (up to 10 MiB per second) but I'm only guessing...
To answer your question, according to this link, the maximum concurrent connections for mobile/web clients per Firebase database is 1,000,000. Thus, your connections seem to not exceed the limits.
For the Blaze Plan project, the limit for Cloud Firestore Document Read is 50K/day, since free usage from Spark Plan is included in Blaze Plan. The limit is such, unless you have set any budget limit in your Billing account. The usage will be reset at midnight of PST. If you upgrade your plan to Flame Plan, the limit is 250K/day.
Here you may read about the official Cloud Firestore Quotas and limits, such as maximum document reads, maximum size for a document, that can be useful. Furthermore you may monitor your database usage and check your plan's limits from the “Usage” tab in the Firebase console. You can check usage over the current billing period, the last 30 days, or the last 24 hours.
Stackdriver Monitoring is also a practical tool for monitoring document reads/writes/deletes, active connections and snapshot listeners.
A good practice, if you want to avoid unexpected charges on your billing account, would be to create an alerting policy based on the Cloud Firestore metrics, as stated here.
Additionally, you can estimate and verify your monthly costs on the “Blaze Plan” by using this Blaze Plan calculator.
For anyone who runs into this issue in the future, please check your App Engine budget settings under "Application Settings". I set the daily spending limit to avoid unnecessary charges during testing and it slipped my mind. I increased the budget and the error is currently gone.
AWS usually sends me an email when my budget has been exceeded.
I have been playing around with Google Datastore and was thinking of using it in production. My concern is that because it autoscales and you pay for the queries (after the free tier), if you get a surge in traffic, you will also get an increased bill. Is there a way to limit the amount Google Datastore scales? I would rather have users experience slow traffic then get a huge bill.
And before anyone suggests setting a budget: I don't want to shut down the site, just have it slower.
Based on Pricing and Quota documentation, Google Cloud Datastore is charging per Stored data, Entity Reads, Entity Writes, Entity Deletes and Small Operations. It is not charging for autoscaling. Which means that either they are served fast or slow, since you are accessing the data, you will be billed anyway.
e.g. Currently the price is $0.036 per 100,000 entities for Entity Reads operations daily. Which means that if during the day your users have already read 50,000 entities (for free) in total, you are going to get billed $0.036 for that day for the next 100,000 entities read operations.
The only way to limit this is to actually avoid any read operations for that day, which will make your application unusable.
Everything here https://firebase.google.com/pricing/ that says "/GB" in Blaze plan, if I have less than GB will the price be calculated lower (like Amazon Web Service's) or billed as full GB?
Want to move from AWS but my app has rather small database/storage but requires large amount of access that it exceeded Spark plan. It would be a shame if Firebase bill me full $5 for realtime database that have barely anything. (In that case stick with AWS might be better)
I know this should go to their support but unfortunately this page https://firebase.google.com/support/ told me to come here, and their direct support is capped at 5 times per year..
Prorated. Calculated lower.
Storage charges are prorated on a per-object basis
https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing
(referenced as "2) This is the estimated pricing for common usage. Firebase Storage free limits are enforced daily and refreshed at midnight Pacific Time. In the Blaze plan, fees for Firebase Storage are based on usage volume. Firebase Storage usage fees are processed as Google Cloud Storage usage fees. For more information, see Google Cloud Storage Pricing." in the fine print)
Does it mean each user can only upload only 50,000 files in total? Or does it mean only 50,000 users can upload files simultaneously?
Firebase Storage offers a free tier that offers the following limits:
5GB data storage (total), you'll get capped if you try to store more
30GB outgoing bandwidth (per month), your limits are reset after that period
50,000 uploads and downloads (per month), again, with limits reset after the month
A single user can use all the resources, or 50,000 users can all upload or download one (small) thing per month. They're just monthly usage quotas, that you can learn more about here (we use the GAE free tier bucket).
