Of all the posts like this I’ve seen the customers are always 1) extremely scant on details about what they were using GCP for or why they were suspended, and more importantly 2) never actually paying for support.

Having worked with a fair few academics, I’m guessing they lost track of their service account keys and the account got suspended for crypto mining.

There have been plenty of posts where the reason was apparent. One i recall was caused by a guy having malware on his phone, and he happened to use a work email on his phone, so the entire GWS organization was banned, shutting down the company's operations.

I have yet to see someone say why they were suspended.

I’ve always wondered why, this makes sense.
