Answer 1

The visibility for google storage here is pretty shitty

The fastest way is actually to pull the stackdriver metrics and look at the total size in bytes:

Unfortunately there is practically no filtering you can do in stackdriver. You can't wildcard the bucket name and the almost useless bucket resource labels are NOT aggregate-able in stack driver metrics

Also this is bucket level only- not prefixes

The SD metrics are updated daily so unless you can wait a day you cant use this to get the current size right now
