β–Ž My production Google Cloud project has been suspended since June 2, 2026 and I cannot get a

β–Ž substantive response from the Trust & Safety team. I'm hoping someone here can help

β–Ž escalate.

β–Ž

β–Ž Project: immo-fluss-app-v1-c57c1 (project number [removed by moderator] )

β–Ž Appeal ref: [removed by moderator] Β· Billing/transfer ticket: 72553881 (case 71363477)

β–Ž

β–Ž What happened: A leaked, under-restricted API key was abused by a third party for

β–Ž high-volume Gemini / Generative Language requests β€” confirmed by Cloud Monitoring (~114k

β–Ž requests on May 17/18, ~228k on June 2/3, almost entirely from one credential). This was

β–Ž not authorized usage.

β–Ž

β–Ž Remediation done: Deleted the abused key (June 3, verified gone), removed all Gemini usage

β–Ž from the client (now server-side only behind an authenticated Cloud Function), restricted

β–Ž all remaining API keys, removed service-account/signing credentials from the repo, added

β–Ž billing alerts + anomaly monitoring.

β–Ž

β–Ž The problem: ImmoFluss is a property-management app with paying customers who are now

β–Ž locked out of their own data. I appealed on June 8, followed up June 12, and contacted

β–Ž billing support on June 23 β€” but reinstatement has no timeline and, while suspended, I

β–Ž cannot export Firestore or Cloud Storage at all.

β–Ž

β–Ž What I'm asking:

β–Ž 1. Can anyone help escalate the reinstatement review? It's been ~3 weeks.

β–Ž 2. Is there ANY way to get a one-time data export / temporary read-only access β€” just to

β–Ž migrate my customers' data β€” even before the final reinstatement decision?

β–Ž

β–Ž I have a legal obligation to give my customers access to their data and I'm running out of

β–Ž time. Any pointer to the right team would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.
