My app has been down for over 3 hours now.  Its a production app, with 
paying customers. At least it did have paying customers 3 hours ago...

Okay, so I've exceeded my quotas, just increase my budgets right?  Wrong - 
it won't let me, saying:
"A charge has been issued to the billing administrator. *(You will be able 
to make changes to your budget settings again once the outstanding payment 
is processed.)* "

So I'm stuck, it won't let me make any changes even though I have a valid 
VISA card registered, ready and waiting.  There has never been a problem 
with the card, and its still valid.

So, I send a mail to "Please contact us at 
[email protected]<[email protected]?subject=Billing%20question%20regarding%20mybikeshopmanager>
 if 
you have questions or issues regarding billing.".  No answer for 3 hours 
and counting.  I raised an issue about it, still no answer.  Finally I'm 
posting here, having reached a final dead end.

There are so many ironies here its almost funny.  I exceeded my quotas 
because I was experiencing lots of problems with high latencies and warmup 
requests taking too long.  Some of my customers had expressed concern that 
the system couldn't handle the load.
Second irony is due to the high latencies experienced, some customers had 
started to question if Google was a "noddy" platform and couldn't scale.  I 
of course went to great lengths to discuss that I'd in fact chosen this 
platform due to its robustness and scalability.  And then its down for over 
3 hours due to a billing bug.

 I agree I should have anticipated the quotas actually being exceeded, but 
given that I missed that moment I would have hoped the situation would have 
been recoverable in less than 3 hours!  Beware ALL.

If there is someone out there who can help, please tell me how I get the 
app running again ASAP.

many thanks.
