I can see shared drive storage limits on all shared drives I have access.

Interesting. I only see storage used if I look at a Shared Drive with my super admin account. If I look at a Shared Drive with my regular user account, I do not see storage used for a Shared Drive. How about others?

I was just testing that. Storage is in the details for the shared drive. It's not prominent, but it's there.

I had a quota applied to all my shared drives by 4:45 yesterday. :)=

Is there a way for Google Workspace users to see how much storage is in Shared Drives they manage? If not, how can we ask our users to check their Shared Drives and get under an upcoming quota we are setting?

Outside of GAM / APIs, no. Not the focus of this release.
