title: Does CREATE OR REPLACE in BigQuery contribute towards a previous Partition Table's quota?
body: <p>We have a BigQuery query like:</p>
  <pre class="lang-sql prettyprint-override"><code>  create or replace table `{project}`.`{dataset}`.`{table}`
    partition by date
  
    select {...}
  </code></pre>
  <p>If we run this query a few times in a day, we get an error:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Quota exceeded: Your table exceeded quota for Number of partition
  modifications to a column partitioned table. For more information, see

  </blockquote>
  <p>I've previously loaded partitioned tables with <code>bq load --replace</code> and don't remember having similar errors — suggesting the quota resets for the new table.</p>
  <p>How does this work? Does <code>create or replace</code> use a cumulative quota for that table name, but <code>bq load --replace</code> resets the quota on each run?</p>
