New carbon transfer configs create an off-schedule transfer run
When creating a new Carbon Footprint transfer config to
export carbon data to BigQuery, the
BigQuery Data Transfer Service will create an initial transfer run for the current date.
However, because carbon data is only published on the 15th of the month, this
initial transfer run may contain no data.
Transfer configs will automatically export carbon data for future months on the
15th of each month. Historical data can be requested via backfill as described
here.
