Hi,

My Google Cloud project gmbpulse (Project ID: gmbpulse) was suspended for "abusive activity consistent with hijacking." Our Gemini API key was compromised by a third party β€” we did not authorize the activity.

Actions I have already taken:

Deleted the compromised API key (Key ID: d70780d2-3cd6-4ab1-84de-208d533cf46a)

Removed all API keys from the project

Audited our codebase to ensure no credentials are exposed

Submitted an appeal via the Google Cloud Console

It has been over 2 weeks with no response or update. This is a production project and the suspension is causing a direct business impact.

Could a Google staff member please escalate or check the status of my appeal?

Thank you.
