I can echo with the sentiment here. There have been a few times, they have broken backward compatibility resulting in our production outage without even new deployment. For example the BigQuery client library suddenly started breaking because they had rolled out some changes from the API contract the library was calling. When we reached out to support they took it very lightly saying why are we even using "the ancient version of library", Ok fair enough we upgraded the library to the recommended version but alas! the dataflow library started breaking due to this new upgrade. For next few hours support just kept on playing binary search of a version which was compatible with both bigQuery and dataflow while the production was down.
The worst part is that when we did post morterm and asked Google why the support resolution was so slow despite being "the privileged" customer, their answer was that the P1 SLA was only to respond within 15 minutes there is no SLA for resolution. Most of the "response" that were getting was that a new support guy has taken over in a new time zone which is the most useless information for us.
We are seriously thinking of moving to another cloud vendor.
