Looks like you're getting that annoying “Deadline expired before operation could complete” error in BigQuery.

That usually means one of two things - either BigQuery’s having a moment, or something’s up on your end.

First thing to do: check the Google Cloud Status Dashboard. If there’s a blip in your region, it’ll show up there.

Next, go to your Cloud Console → IAM & Admin → Quotas.

Look up things like “Create dataset requests” or “API requests per 100 seconds.” If you’re over the limit, that could be your problem.

Also, double-check your permissions. You’ll need bigquery.datasets.create on your account or service account.

Still no luck? Try using the bq command-line tool or even the REST API. They’re way better at showing detailed errors than the UI.

And if it’s still not working, try switching to a different region. Sometimes that helps if the current one’s overloaded.

Need a quick API command to test it? Just let me know - happy to share!
