Unable to use ₹2,500 Gemini API prepaid credits because Cloud Billing account was closed after successful payment

Hi Google Team,

I need help with a billing issue that I cannot resolve through Billing Assistant.

Billing Account ID: 01A78D-2EEF8E-6547..
Payments Profile ID: 4052-9869-00..

Issue:

  • I successfully purchased ₹2,500 Gemini API prepaid credits.
  • I received the payment confirmation and prepayment successful emails.
  • Google Payments Center still shows ₹2,500 credit remaining.
  • However, the Cloud Billing account is now marked as Closed.
  • The “Reopen billing account” button is disabled.
  • I am the Billing Account Administrator.
  • My Google Payments profile is verified.
  • Google AI Studio still shows my project on the Free tier and I cannot use my prepaid credits.

Billing Assistant repeatedly tells me the account is a free trial and does not allow me to contact a human billing specialist.

Could someone from the Google Billing team please investigate why the billing account was closed after a successful prepayment and help restore access to my prepaid credits?

Thank you.
