I eventually figured it out: once I created a separate billing project not attached to the free trial credit and attached it to my account I was able to proceed. I mean: totally understand the fraud issue. Incredibly deceptive error message though. Just say what you need so I can be objective about the next step I should take: I already had multiple credit cards and bank accounts attached to the payment profile, but it took me nearly 2 hours to figure out that "you've reached your quota" means "you need to create a billing account that doesn't have free credit attached". Free advice, so worth what you paid: your experience here would be WORLDS better with a simple "Upgrade your account" button that runs the $10 charge or whatever you've decided is required for forward progress. That said: once I was past that gate, progress was swift, so there is that. Worth the money: you just need to make it straightforward to take my money.
