Automated Firebase Usage and Quota Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens the Firebase console, reads the usage and billing page on each project, records Firestore reads and writes plus Cloud Storage against the plan quota in Airtable, works out how fast each is burning, and posts Slack a short warning when a project is heading past its limits.
How do I get warned before a Firebase project passes its plan limits?
Every morning WebRun opens the Firebase console, reads usage and billing on each of your projects, and records Firestore reads and writes plus Cloud Storage against the plan quota in Airtable. When a project is projected to run past its limits, it posts a Slack warning naming the product burning quota fastest.
- A runaway query is caught days before the invoice
- Every project has a daily usage record to compare against
- Slack stays quiet unless a quota is actually at risk

WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it change my plan or my budget settings?
No. WebRun only reads the usage and billing pages in the Firebase console. Changing a plan, editing a budget, or capping a service stays a deliberate human action in your console.
Does it alert me every single day?
Only when something needs attention. The Airtable record is written daily, but the Slack post appears only for projects projected to pass a quota, so a quiet channel means a quiet week.
Can it watch more than one project?
Yes. WebRun walks every project you list, records each separately in Airtable, and names the specific project and product in the Slack warning.
