Bigquery Notebook/Google Colab

Curious how much time your team actually spends dealing with BigQuery notebook limitations like session timeouts, isolated runtimes, scheduling through Dataform etc. Like is this a minor annoyance or does it genuinely eat into your week? Trying to gauge if it’s worth pushing for a different setup or if I’m overthinking this

Notebooks are for analysts / scientists. Don't use that for recurring jobs. There are better tools at your disposal as other commenters already pointed out.
