I noticed I'm being charged for SKU "Download APAC" in the service "Cloud Storage" from April 15th and the charge is pretty significant compared to my other services.
I do use google cloud and have about 4-5 GB of data stored which hasn't changed much but I'm surprised by this new charge and don't know what/where is it coming from and what can I do to reduce it?
I'm attaching the billing details as well to understand better. Thanks in advance!

Without knowing more about how you all are using GCP, common causes of these types of charges include:
