Sorry, not really sorry. It has been well documented that any of the big tech companies will thankfully flush you and all you've build down the drain whenever they feel like that. You'll also probably never be able to talk to someone (high enough up the ladder) to figure things out. Nevertheless lots of people are building their tech and their lives based on the services provided by these companies, when a maliciously flagged YouTube comment for a linked account can kill _everything_ in seconds. Stop building stuff on their platforms. Now. edit: Yeah, probably not very "helpful" but how many of the "Google killed my X for no reason" posts will we have to see until either regulatory bodies step in (doesn't look like that) or people will just stop using those services. Yeah, it's cheap and it's easy to start with, but so are some drugs, too.

Do we see much of this for AWS? Asking for a friend...

  AWS will email you for months and months about billing issues before they terminate anything

    This. In my previous company I was receiving almost every month some email from automated systems AND humans at AWS because either our finance dept screwed it up or AWS screwed it up but we had like hundred of thousands of $ in missing payments for months, and nothing happened (we always eventually paid AFAIK). Nowadays I think they are removing humans from the loop as much as possible though.

    I confirm this, had this multiple times

    And AWS support is much better.

    Indeed. My company forgot to warn the the credit card had been updated, emails were being sent to the work email of an employee that left... Took 4 months before they started turning off stuff, and even that was quite gradual, just enough to draw attention

  With AWS the problems I heard was your bill getting really really high unexpectedly.

    TBF that can happen with any of the big cloud providers.

    but they always find a solution to it. i've spun up redshift instances to play around that racked up thousands by accident, and they forgave them in a snap.

  We've had some mishaps with Azure billing and they did call for a couple of days before they switched things off.
