Google Cloud Storage: what happens to billing after storage class change on an object

ng flag

I would need to better understand what it happens to billing when I change the storage class of an object.

I have a bucket on Google Cloud Storage; inside the bucket I have an object of 100Gb saved as Nearline. Then after 15 days I will change the class of this object to Standard. As the nearline has a retention period of 30 days, it is not clear how I have to calculate the price. Considering the whole month, do I have to consider a 15 days of storage at nearline + "early deletion" period of 15 days, and at last another 15 days of storage at Standard class price?

Regards, Matteo

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
