Hello Robinson Hunter,

Due to a new agreement between WhatsApp and Google, WhatsApp backups will  
no longer count against Google Drive storage quota. However, any WhatsApp  
backups that have not been updated in more than a year will automatically  
be removed from storage.

This policy will go into effect for all users on November 12, 2018 though  
some users may see the quota benefits earlier. To avoid the loss of any  
backups, we recommend that people manually back up WhatsApp before November  
12, 2018.

Recommended Actions

1. Confirm that your current Android WhatsApp client is backed up

2. If you would like to refresh any existing backups, please manually back  
up your WhatsApp client before October 30, 2018
