  This happened to me once when I was setting up some virtual servers for a startup. I wanted a typical dev/qa/prod with medium specced boxes. I was denied for quota, with an esoteric process for review. I'd just made a case for deploying to GCP over AWD so got a bit of egg on my face. Went over and had it done on AWS in a few minutes. A couple days later, the Google product team contacted me. I told them what happened. It got escalated, and I ended up on a call with like 5 or 6 people from Google, some very senior. I told them what happened. They made very concerned sounding noises and told me how this was a product failure on their part, how they'd get it corrected, etc... and they'd fixed my account so I could now make the machines. Of course, I was already deployed to AWS at that point. That company grew and ended up with a pretty big cloud spend eventually. Google totally missed it. I was at a new startup a few years later and decided to deploy to GCP. Denied for quota.
