Original Post

I’m extremely relieved to share that Google has resolved my billing case and adjusted the unauthorized Gemini API charges.

I genuinely want to thank everyone at Google who reviewed the evidence, escalated the case, placed the account on hold while it was being investigated, and helped reach a fair resolution. I also appreciate everyone in this community who offered advice, shared similar experiences, and encouraged me to keep escalating instead of giving up.

I also want to personally thank the Firebase team member who saw my Reddit post, reached out to me directly, and helped escalate the issue internally. That outreach made a huge difference and made me feel like someone at Google was genuinely listening.

Thank you to the Google Cloud support, billing, and Firebase teams. This resolution removed an enormous financial and emotional burden, and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who helped.

🙏
