How expensive is it to query "TITLE INTERNAL DATA" inside cloud script?
Will I be able to save a lot on query data once and store data in reusable global variables?I will then check if the global variable is NULL and if TRUE I will query data from API and store it global. Next request will then be able to access data from global variable.
Or is there nothing to retrieve because cloud script already works that way in the background?

Server API GetTitleInternalData can be called via server.GetTitleInternalData(request) statement directly on CloudScript.

Currently, PlayFab doesn’t provide such features can be used as reusable global variables. If you mean the global variables in CloudScript, they are unable to be assigned by CloudScript functions. Global variables in CloudScript only can be assigned manually, in a word, you need to change the CloudScript code then deploy it again if you want to change the value of a global variable. Hence, your description can’t be implemented using CloudScript global variables. A possible workaround is to use an external cache(like Redis) to store the reusable global variables.

You can't rely upon the same JS engine, or even server, to necessarily be the same from one instance of calling a handler to the next. There's a more complete discussion on this subject in this thread: https://community.playfab.com/questions/3388/210571828-JS-static-properties-and-Cloud-Script.html.
If you want to use the Title Internal Data in CloudScript, you need to retrieve them via Server API GetTitleInternalData in the corresponding function every time, or retrieve the data from an external cache.
