Anecdotally, I know a paying GCP customer that recently got quota blocked on the number of global static IPs they are allowed to create. We could not figure out how to contact someone to increase it, and nobody knew why the quota was set so low (4). We just kept running into automated systems that gave circular information on how to request an increase. We kept getting links to sign up for a free tier account.

Search for "all quotas" in the GCP console, from there you can view all your quotas and request increases.
Right. Unfortunately their right to request increases was removed. The exact wording: “Based on your service usage history you are not eligible for quota increase at this time” and then dead ends trying to reach someone.

They had billing accounts set up for all their projects. They were happy to hand over money but had no ability to.

Are you by chance referring to anycast IPs? Having a limit of 4 for static IPs sounds so incredulous
