Hi all,
Posting alongside our open GCP Support case #70503708 — payment deadline expires tomorrow (May 13), second extension declined this morning by billing chatbot.
Summary: Production GCP project, ~zero Gemini baseline. Google’s own systems flagged compromise Apr 23. We rotated all keys Apr 24. Three clean days followed (Apr 25–27). Then Apr 28: a single 24-hour burst hit 79 Gemini SKUs (text, image, video, audio I/O models we’ve never used) — ₹7,83,722.69 in unauthorized charges on Apr 28 alone. Apr 29 spend dropped 99.85% the moment we disabled the Gemini API.
Case has been with Billing/Finance review ~12 days. Deadline tomorrow. Pattern matches several other very recent reports on this forum (€5k/1hr, $10k/2days, €54k Firebase, $213 with same model-mismatch signature).
Hoping for Google staff visibility on credit-review timing before deadline. Full forensic details available — happy to share on request.
Thanks,
Sanjeev, Younglabs
