One thing that bit me was that GCP spending limits could only be updated on a 24 hour timer (so one full day before they kicked in) This is absolutely terrible if you have a spike in legitimate traffic and try to increase the limit and you lose all that “front page of hn traffic” forever because your supposedly scalable system didnt scale. I have no idea if they have fixed that issue yet but I doubt it.
