Google App Engine - Can't Update Budget - google-app-engine

I have billing enabled on my project, and have even issued a $10 payment just to test out the process (it works). But I am unable to change my daily budget on the google app engine dashboard.
I go to "Billing Status" section.
I am entering the new daily budget and I hit the "submit" button.
I am getting the not very informative error: "There was an error processing the request".
So I'm stuck without being able to update my budget, and my quota has exceeded for instance hours. My users are receiving errors and I am losing money, without any option of reaching out to Official Google Support (tried to email support - it can take up to a couple of days for them to get back to you, and the phone number requires a PIN that only premium customers get. becoming a premium customer also takes a couple of days...).
Any suggestions?
I have already tried:
making sure I have only one Google account signed in while changing the budget
replacing payment method
adding another user as a billing admin and changing the budget with that user
Nothing seems to work.

UPDATE: After reaching out to a developer advocate from Google, I found out that they are aware of this issue. They claim to have solved it last night, and for me the bug is now solved.

You currently do not have a developer account in QBO

I am trying to obtain my production keys for my QBO app following the steps in this link
here
However, when I try to start the "App Assessment Questionnaire", I get the error message below:
You currently do not have a developer account, please click here to complete setting up your developer account. Once that is complete you will be able to access the help pages.
This is what I see, and I DO have a developer account. It won't let me continue.
Please help!
UPDATE
I see this error in the address bar:
ErrorCode=ERROR_CREATING_USER&ErrorDescription=License+Limit+Exceeded
UPDATE #2
I tried creating a brand new account, a new app, on a different PC and the same thing happened. So this is not a cache issue.
UPDATE #3
Created 2 support tickets for this issue
#00114423
#00114415
I had to use a different account to access the help site
https://help.developer.intuit.com
I've the same issue since Friday (02/18) and spent hours to figure out what's the problem.
tried from different browsers and different IP addresses
made a brand new developer account to test with it
had a 1+ hour chat session with QB support (but not developer support)
sent an email to an address received from the chat assistant
sent a feedback at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/AppAssess
According to the browser's developer tools:
the Start questionnaire button opens this URL:
https://developers.intuit.com/app/developer/appdetail/prod/questionnaire?appId=xxxxx:UUID_of_app
then it redirects to:
https://login.salesforce.com/services/auth/sso/yyyyyyyyyyy/Intuit_Enterprise?community=https://help.developer.intuit.com
finally, SSO to salesforce fails and it redirects back to:
https://developer.intuit.com/app/developer/qbpayments/docs/qbms-payments/hosted-paypage/faqs/help-redirect?**ErrorCode=ERROR_CREATING_USER&ErrorDescription=License+Limit+Exceeded**+-+Customer+Community+Login&ProviderId=xxxxxx&startURL=%2Fs%2Fquestionnaire%3Fapp%yyyyyyyyyyyyy
So, it seems to be, QB have reached a license limit at salesforce, which prevents new logins to create and the questionnaire from to load.
And the funny part is: the same thing happens, when I tried to create a support ticket and used the "Ask a question" button at https://help.developer.intuit.com/s/
Which means, I can't start the questionnaire and can't start a ticket about the error either.
I guess, if QB developer accounts whom created support tickets previously or started the questionnarie before the license limit has been reached, they have have a SSO login account at salesforce and able to fill in the form or start new support tickets, but others are stuck because of the license limit.
If somebody have a working QB developer account and able to start a support ticket, please do it, and link this page in it.
Or maybe, we should contact salesforce support to let QB know about the license limit.
I'll give it a try.
This seems to have been fixed. I tried running the questionaire and it worked.
I have also been having this problem the last several days and had the same lack of success with QB support. The URL callback error I see is:
ErrorCode=REGISTRATION_HANDLER_ERROR&ErrorDescription=Please+sign+the+terms+of+service+before+you+login+to+community
I don't see anywhere I can sign a TOS in my account page - it's possible that in fact QBO hasn't signed a TOS with Salesforce. What a joke.

How do I monitor gmail API usage from Microsoft Flow?

I have used Microsoft Flow to check for new emails with specific labels using their gmail connector trigger 'when a new email arrives'.
Up until now I have had four flows running perfectly for over a year, until last Friday when errors started occurring. I am now testing with just one flow, single concurrency, which runs every minute (Flow Plan 2). The mailbox being checked receives at most 200 new messages per day, fairly spread out.
This is the error message which happens after the flow runs sucessfully 2-3 times a minute apart:
{
"statusCode": 403,
"message": "Out of call volume quota. Quota will be replenished in 23:01:41."
}
Microsoft claim this is related to the gmail API limit of no more than 60 calls per 60 seconds, even though the message above suggests a refresh of the quote in something close to 24 hours. It seems more like we are hitting some kind of daily limit, but the only one I could find on the gmail usage limits page is for 1,000,000 quota units per day, and I'm certain we are far short of that.
I have tried accessing quota usage from https://console.developers.google.com but since I didn't make a project and everything is setup from the Microsoft flow, there is no quota data shown.
Q: How can I verify the number of api calls being made from Microsoft Flow via the gmail connector, if that's even possible?
Note, I also started a thread on the Microsoft Power users forum to get help, but I figure if it's gmail API related then I may get better answers here.
Edit 27th Aug: Resolution was to export the flows to a new microsoft account. For whatever reason, the flows run fine on the new account (even though it has the same flow subscription). Microsoft still cannot explain why the flows would halt on one account and not on another.

Can I use the Google Cloud Vision API without activating the free trial?

Is there a way to test the Google Vision API in an application without activating my free trial?
I am trying to use the API in a sample test application, but I can't enable the Vision API without having a valid billing method added.
Error Message: " The API requires a valid billing method."
When I try to enable billing from the Dashboard - Billing - It redirect to a page where I have to input my information in order to "Try Cloud Platform for free" and I have to click on a button with the message - "Start my free trial". Is there a way to enable billing without starting my free trial?
I just want to use the free tier (doesn't matter if I would have to put in my credit card) without 'wasting' my free trial -- I think so much money for trial could be spent better elsewhere...
Yes it's possible...with a billing account set up...
To create a new billing account:
Go to the Cloud Platform Console and sign in or, if you don't already
have an account, sign up.
Open the console menu and select Billing.
Click the New billing account button. (Note
that if this is not your first billing account, first you need to open
the billing account list by clicking the name of your existing billing
account near the top of the page, and then clicking Manage billing
accounts.)
Enter the name of the billing account and enter your
billing information. The options you see depend on the country of your
billing address. Note that for United States accounts, you cannot
change tax status after the account is created.
Click Submit and enable billing.
Now by enabling billing for your test project, you'll have the option to use a billing account...the one you just set up.
You can upgrade your trial account anytime, and you'll immediately have access to standard service quotas. If you upgrade to a paid account before the 60-day trial period ends, any remaining amount of your initial trial credit remains in your account. See this link.

AppEngine application NOT responding even though well within quota limits with credit balance

If I have a credit balance in my Google AppEngine dashboard for a particular Open Data Kit Aggregate instance which is well within its quota limits, why am I getting this message??
"AppEngine Application Problem. A problem has occurred that prevents
your AppEngine application from responding. Your application may have
exceeded its per-minute or daily usage quotas. Please visit your
application dashboard at Google AppEngine. The Billing Status section
will indicate what daily or per-minute usage limits your application
has exceeded...If neither of those indicate any problems, then your application's Logs may; these are reachable from the dashboard via the Logs link on the left sidebar under the Main heading."
I have search the dashboard far and wide and don't see ANY red flags whatsoever relating to logs, or exceeding any quota limits. I added a new credit card and paid a $3 outstanding bill by making a payment for $20. Hence a $17 credit balance. About to give up.
One thing you should definitely do is go to SITE ADMIN -> PREFERENCES and tick "Disable faster background actions"
That is the only reason your quota should be finishing so fast.
Can you give us a screenshot of your logs, particularly datastore read operations, that is usually what spikes over the quota.
If you don't find any issues on your own, post a query on https://groups.google.com/d/forum/opendatakit. They are quite responsive, especially Mitch.

Adding a billing method with google cloud results in "unexpected error"

I've been trying to add a billing method to my google compute engine without any luck. After inserting my Visa card details and clicking the submit button, I always get the following message:
An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later.
I am trying to create a google compute engine instance, but without billing enabled, this is not possible. I already tried contact google cloud billing support by filling out the online support form. However, it says responses usually take 2 to 3 business days. Now, is the problem I am facing limited to my account or is everybody else facing the same issue ?
The problem got fixed several hours after I posted my question. It seems that the problem was from google's end.
