Hope you get your account back.

I’ve been on the fence about migrating off Gmail, but after reading threads like this, I put a contingency plan in place. Backups of my Google account are done hourly, and I have a custom domain/workspace account so I can move the domain elsewhere if needed.

How do you do hourly backups?

There are a few open source options out there (e.g. run IMAP backup script via cron). I personally use CubeBackup [1] on a local NAS, which covers mail/drive/photos. I then have a job that backs up that directory off-site using rclone.
