Manual Sync Request: AI Studio stuck on "Setup pending" (Cloud Billing is Active)

My Google Cloud billing account is currently stuck in the “Processing” loop, and I am unable to link it to Google AI Studio to unlock my API key.

Error displayed: “Setup pending. Your Google Cloud billing account is being processed. Processing time varies from a few moments to a few weeks.”

Troubleshooting done:
My billing account is 100% active on the Google Cloud side.
verified my credit card is active and successfully linked (I can see the $1 temporary authorization hold from Google on my statement).
There are no outstanding balances or failed payments.

I know this is a known sync delay. Could someone from the product team please force a manual synchronization for my account so I can get back to building?

Thanks!
