Is that the only consequence? What happens if they don't pay at all, what would Google do? Genuinely asking, I have no clue.
MX records show Twitter is using Google Workspace too. I wonder if Google would threaten shutting down email and document access in addition to GCP.
Have to think they would turn access off.
I expect they're under some kind of enterprise tier deal so I imagine they'll get quite a few calls from their account manager before inevitably they just shut off access. This kind of thing happens more often than you'd expect when a company has cashflow issues, they're probably using many other suppliers as free lines of credit as well.
