ERROR: (gcloud.compute.addresses.list) Some requests did not succeed:
- Request had insufficient authentication scopes.
We need to move away from these companies before it's too late... they are incompetent and rent seeking.
They also do not rebate your free instance if you shut it off and change the instance type of the instance that had the rebate, even if you change it back.
And there is no recourse, no support, no way to get help.

- tecleandor 5y agoOK, now I see. I got certified a couple years ago and seem like they introduced this pricing past year. So "...you are not charged for static external IP addresses that are assigned to forwarding rules", yes, but a VM is not a forwarding rule :P So you gotta pay for external IPs attached to a VM, but not to a Load Balancer. Seems like they're trying to incentivize using LBs to use less IP addresses, I guess...
