In Bitbucket Cloud, a repository admin can see the size under "Repository Details" under Settings.

In Bitbucket Server too, you can view it under Settings > Repository Details after clicking on "Retrieve Size Details".

If you are owner, you are able to see it. Check if you are owner or you have admin permisions. Then, as I have said: 1. Enter into the repository 2. Click settings (in the left menu) 3. See repository details after clicking on "Retrieve Size Details". – pcampana May 10 '19 at 14:32

It's easiest to get this info from the admin panel. However, if you are not an admin, and you're using Bitbucket Cloud, then you can still query the API for it: https://developer.atlassian.com/bitbucket/api/2/reference/resource/repositories/%7Busername%7D/%7Brepo_slug%7D
