I started using Firestore recently (Free plan) in my iOS app, the app is in Production now, and I see huge discrepancy in the number of Reads. App Engine Quota shows 1M reads of 0.05M (free quota) (Cloud Firestore Read Operations), while Firebase Console (Database tab) shows just a one hundred reads for today - 10,000 times difference!
The app can still read the data from the servers (it's not from cache as I tried to delete the app and reinstall), so the Firestore functionality is not limited by exceeding the free quota.
Each app user can read only one document (via listener) with applied security rules, and it reads own document only 3-5 times per session. There are about 50 users so far, so the expected number of reads matches Firebase console.
Is there a known bug in App Engine console?
Is there a way or free tool to understand the source of all those reads?
Which reporting tool is more reliable in general - Firebase Console or App Engine Console?
I appreciate your help guys!

how to check firebase cloud firestore size in a project?
according to firebase the free plan gives you 1GB for firebase cloud firestore, i already create some collections with documents inside, but where can i check the total size i am using?
i already check some statistics in firebase console but i can only see the numbers of reads and writes.
You can check your Cloud Firestore size or Cloud Firestore stored data in Google Cloud App Engine Quotas page. You can go direct to Google Cloud using the link because when you create a Firebase project, you're also creating a project in the Google Cloud.
Inside the App Engine Quotas page you can see also the other Cloud Firestore usage information including reads, writes, index writes, deletes, and network egress.
Example images:
UPDATE:
You can check your usage up to last 30 days in Firestore Database > Usage
Go to the Firestore Usage tab
Click "View in Usage and Billing" (bottom right)
This will show a summary of usage including total bytes stored, bandwidth, reads, writes, and deletes.
The answer is you can’t check the usage of bytes stored per month in Firestore. Only per day.
Usage per day can be checked in the app engine
It’s confusing because you don’t know how much data you have stored in total in Firestore.
is there any way in firebase or google cloud console to view the firestore document reads by source (admin or web sdk)? we had a massive spike and need this info to triage.
All options are listed on the documentation page on monitoring usage, but there is no view of what specific document caused the spike in reads. If you want such a thing, you'll have to build it yourself - which unfortunately won't help for this incident that has already occurred.
Last couple of weeks, I have been Observing difference between number of writes in Firebase console Firestore Usage tab and Google cloud console Quota page.
Before that, The count fairly used to sync.
Number of writes in Firebase Firestore console usage tab: 9.2K
Number of writes in Google Cloud Console page, Quotas Page: 19307
Which is approximately double the number of writes in Firebase Firestore Usage Tab. Are there any Internal writes happening which google doesn't report?
Firebase Console Firestore Usage Tab Page
Google cloud Console Quotas page
I have attached the screenshots for the same.
Can anyone clear My Query. Is this a valid Scenario?
Note: I Don't have any other project linked to the platform.
From your first screenshot you can see at the top left written on the graph “Does not include Imports/exports and may not match billing and quota usage”. Moreover, Google public documentation states that the Firebase console includes a usage dashboard that shows Cloud Firestore reads, writes, deletes and other metrics over time.
As a result of how the dashboard computes usage, the numbers reported can differ from billing reports. The billing reports are the final usage numbers.
The usage dashboard does not include reads and writes from managed import and export operations.
So,I have to answer my question.
I've found out the root cause. Firestore FieldValue atomic operations causing the double writes.
This double writes happening with any SDK version even in Cloud functions Admin SDK.
I've skipped the use of atomic operations using FieldValue. All Fine now.
Firebase Support Investigating the Issue. Will update When I Got more Info from them.
Edit:2
Response from Firebase support:
"The two writes come from: 1) the initial write and 2) the transformation. This is not a bug, and what is shown in the Cloud console is correct. We do have an internal ticket now to make sure the Firebase console syncs up this information better, as well, so hopefully that'll help."
That means Fieldvalue functions to increment and array Union, servertimestamp will cause two writes and I also found that they are causing extra reads as well. I feel Firebase should reconsider their decision of not considering it as bug or atleast restructure this Atomic Operation. Let's Wait and See.
I have an app which uses firebase storage and I am observing an unusual traffic to the storage. The bandwidth usage is unusually high, which shouldn't happen with the usual behavior of the app.
I need to isolate a user or a stored file which causes this unusual bandwidth usage. Is there any way I can get more information about the storage usage, other than the information shown at the Usage tab of firebase console?
Firebase Storage only tracks and shows aggregate data for the usage in your project. It does not tie this usage to specific Firebase Authentication users.
If you need that, consider adding your own tracking for this, for example by logging uploads/downloads to Google Analytics for Firebase.
You can also log to Stack Driver, although it might only be in aggregate there too. For the exact metrics, see the Google Cloud Platform documentation on its storage metrics.
Alternatively you could reach out to Firebase support for personalized help in troubleshooting. But I'm not sure if they have access to the type of data you're looking for.
I am using Firebase for almost 2 months now for my app in production and right now I am on Spark plan for sometime until I get user base. I see that the Spark pricing allows 1GB of downloads per day and 5GB of total storage but nowhere on the console I am able to see how much storage quota I have used up now. This is really important to a lot of users, if you show usage information for Database you should show it for storage as well.
As long as Storage is concerned it's actually a Google Cloud Storage Bucket, you can visit the Google Cloud Console and see the details. Firebase currently does not show the bucket usage details.
You can send them a feature request from this link :

Like Raghvendra said, you can view it on the Google Cloud Console at the following link: https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/my-app.appspot.com
my-app will be your project name, and is the same as the one you use on Firebase: https://console.firebase.google.com/project/my-app/storage/my-app.appspot.com/files
