This has happened to me too, but in my case the Google account that I lost access to is the admin account of a Google Adsense publisher account. For some reason I don't receive the 2FA code to my phone, though I do know the recovery email address and the password. I don't log into the Adsense account a lot, it's a small amount of revenue, enough to cover some DO droplets every month. Given that I don't log in a lot, between my last login and first getting locked out, I had switched ISPs and switched my main browser to FF from Chrome, and even erased all my old Chrome data. So, new IP, and no cookies/fingerprint, not getting the 2FA codes... lock out! No recourse. No person to ask.
What's more funny is that I figured, well, I'll just create a new Google account and sign up for Adsense again for my domain with the new account. Turns out you can't do that because the domain for the Adsense account "is already in use by another Adsense account".
There is simply no customer service.
