    The problem is not just about the Quota, it's also critically important to get the document data at the time of writing. One clear example of this would be when incrementing a numeric field, doc.update({ [field]: FieldValue.increment(1) }), everything works fine in the DB, but server side, how do I know what the value was when it's been incremented by my request? by the time I make a get request, somebody else might have increased already such counter. It mostly defeats the purpose of calling FieldValue.increment if I cannot make sure what the value was when I increased it
    @Alexander Trakhimenok, sounds more like a workaround than the actual solution. Honestly I don't understand why the REST Api do return the document, while the various SDKs will not.
