WhatsApp had recently announced that starting Nov 12, all chat and media backups to the Google Drive will not be counted towards the users’ Cloud storage quota. 

This was made possible after Facebook and Google inked a deal to allow all WhatsApp storage in Google’s cloud to remain “free” and not eat into users’ available storage capacity.
