Interestingly, I received an email this evening (that did not go to spam) from Checkout that is almost identical to the one Nathan pasted in here . Was that email scheduled to be delivered a week after they started the proce

Apparently there was an email around the 3rd of December. However, a lot of devs (including me) don't remember getting it; quite possibly it went into spam, official Google emails seem to fairly often. It was also discussed here
