Google Cloud updated its Terms of Service on June 2, 2026 to expand the definition of 'Fee Accrual Period' to include Google Workspace Services (GWS Services) alongside Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Services. Previously, the threshold-based billing period applied only to GCP Services; the updated terms now state it applies to both GCP and GWS Services. This means customers using Google Workspace may now have billing periods triggered by reaching designated spend thresholds, consistent with how GCP Services are billed.
The updated terms expand the definition of when billing periods are triggered based on spend thresholds. Previously, threshold-based billing periods applied only to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Services. The revised language now includes Google Workspace Services (GWS Services) under the same threshold-based accrual mechanism. This means customers using Google Workspace may now have billing cycles triggered by reaching designated spend levels in the Admin Console or Order Form, in addition to the standard calendar-month billing periods.
Expanded to include Google Workspace Services alongside Google Cloud Platform Services for threshold-based billing.
