Will we pay (cost) for reading from cache only (Cloud FireStore)?

Question

In most cases I am writing as online, but I am reading as offline(from cache):

db.collection('users/user1/messages').get({ source: 'cache' });

Will the above code will cost me? as I am reading only from cache not server

Querying using only the cache using source: 'cache' will never incur any billing. Only document received from the server will cost document reads.
