That is pretty clearly documented in the setup instructions.

There are multiple notes about cost. In particular, this one stands out.

> Note: The size of the tables you query are important because BigQuery is billed based on the number of processed data. There is 1TB of processed data included in the free tier, so running a full scan query on one of the larger tables can easily eat up your quota. This is where it becomes important to design queries that process only the data you wish to explore

yeah, but don't "eat up your quota" seems rather tame, whereas "you can get billed $14k with no warning" is the truth.
