It was called "Project Hug". Based on the different sources it contained credits for all the google offerings such as Ads, Youtube and Google Cloud in exchange for keeping apps on the Google Play platform.

That doesn't match your original description at all.

> If I remember right just few years ago Google was told to stop giving cheaper prices on Google Cloud based on customers Ads and Google Play revenue.

None of your links describe them giving cheaper Cloud prices based on Ads or Play revenue.

I stand by the claim that you made it up.
