I am understand that we have been charges for every read, write and delete operation, but my question are these operation also being counted in the firebase console?
Sometimes, we just wanna see the data through firebase console, and when click at the collection, it will automatically display the documents data and also sub-collection of the documents. Are we gonna get charged through activity in console too?
Are these operation also being counted in the firebase console?
Yes, all read, write or delete operations performed even from the cosole are counted.
Are we gonna get charged through activity in console too?
Yes.

I’m wondering if accessing the data from the “change” snapshot of the onWrite cloud function count as an extra read on my billings.
Thank you!
The data from the database that is included with the payload that triggers your Cloud Function does not count as a charged read towards your database (either Firestore or Realtime Database), since they are served from within an existing data stream.
As per the documentation,
Cloud Firestore allows you to listen to the results of a query and get realtime updates when the query results change.
When you listen to the results of a query, you are charged for a read each time a document in the result set is added or updated. You are also charged for a read when a document is removed from the result set because the document has changed. (In contrast, when a document is deleted, you are not charged for a read.)
Also, if the listener is disconnected for more than 30 minutes (for example, if the user goes offline), you will be charged for reads as if you had issued a brand-new query.
This means that you'll be charged on the 1st read of the listener and will only charge you if there are changes or writes on the current snapshot.
I am getting an unusually high amount of reads on my Firebase app and I would like to know precisely where they occur. For example, in which collection, in which document in a collection. If it is a listener that's adding up reads or simple reads.
There are currently no tools to audit Firestore access. You will have to log access from your application code and collect those somewhere for you to analyze.
Realtime updates from the Firestore console is often a source of unexpected reads.
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'm monitoring document read count in Firebase Console > Firestore > Usage section.
However, I want to find a way to see document read count by collection so that I can know which query to optimize.
Is there anyway for that?
I looked into GCP monitoring but I couldn't achieve what I want to do here.
I read documents from js SDK and nodejs Admin SDK
Firestore provides no accounting other than a total running read count for the entire database for the last 30 days. If you need something more specific, you'll have to record it yourself somehow.

If we use the batch API to write something to firestore, is it going to be counted as a single write operation on pricing >
No. You are still charged for each individual document write.
