I don't know about Google's support offerings. But when I worked for a startup that was on AWS, here's what we'd do:

1.) Try to figure things out ourselves 2.) If we can't figure it out, subscribe to AWS Support. 3.) Get question answered and then turn off the support plan.

You'll have your support plan for the rest of the month and pay a prorated amount for the days during which you had support. It's quick and cheap.

You can do the same with GCP
Last I checked GCP has a minimum one month billing for support. Then again, we're talking about $100/mo here, saving half of that pays for how many minutes of engineer time?
