Identity platform is also firebase auth if you’re using that.

General steps here are go into billing reports, find the project where that was billed and make sure it’s under your control. Might as well do an audit of all your service accounts and keys if there are charges you are sure you didn’t do.

If you are using a third party cloud administrator service they might have mis-billed you.

Thanks. I do use Firebase Auth and I see a lot of SMS authentication requests from Pakistan, Ecuador, and Romania, but I don't think those are legitimate users authenticating based on previous usage.
Might not be legitimate but if they’re sending SMS messages in those regions you’re getting billed a ton.
