You don't have anything in your HN profile, so I can't be certain, but I'm guessing you haven't been in the Research/Education space? It's scary how much Google Drive is used for storage of stuff.
We did have unlimited storage, however last week they announced that's soon to change:
> A quota will soon be introduced on the amount of data that staff and students at the University can store in their Google account. This is part of a larger piece of work being carried out by the Google Workspace team in IT Services, to review the overall amount of storage being used by the University.
Makes me wonder if the timing is somehow related.
