Does snowflake charges storage cost for result cache, warehouse cache and metadata cache?

While I find the official answer, these are the principles behind each:

  • Result cache: Available across warehouses, hence its persisted on cloud storage and should count within your storage costs.

  • Warehouse cache: Available within an active WH, hence the cost is already included in the WH costs.

  • Metadata cache: Naturally available throughout the cloud services layer. Free unless "Snowflake credits are used to pay for the usage of the cloud services that exceeds 10% of the daily usage of the compute resources".
