We had our main GCP account suspended because we were running a Lightning node, and some Google automata flagged us as mining.

We couldn’t get hold of any actual person at Google, and were told by our Google reseller to buy a fairly expensive support package to have our issue expedited after raising multiple appeals/objections. Suffice it to say, we run out of AWS now. I’ve heard GCP support (in terms of reaching an actual human support person/engineer has only gotten worse since then, and our experience occurred a good few years back).

This is kind of a problem with non-paid support I think. I had an AWS account with some credits that were going to expire and decided to use them to spin up a bare metal instance. My account was immediately flagged and I got locked out. I finally managed to reach someone who made me jump through hoops changing my password and rotating my API keys. It still took a few days before I was able to log in again, and by then my credits were expired. Luckily I wasn't doing anything important in my account, but someone running a business would have been screwed.
