I want to deploy an GraphQL server (ApolloServer) instance to GCP/Firebase Cloud Functions. When testing my function locally using Firebase Functions Emulator I noticed that each time I open the GraphiQL interface, my terminal starts logging function executions - I guess this happens solely because of the polling mechanism in GraphQL.

Does anyone know if this also means I get billed 1 function execution for each polling request?

If you GraphQL implementation polls Cloud Function, you indeed will get charged for each call to Cloud Functions once they're deployed. There is never a charge for calls to the Cloud Functions emulator.
