Railway experienced a platform-wide service disruption due to Google Cloud incorrectly placing our account in a suspended status. This resulted in a temporary loss of service for all GCP hosted infrastructure.

So I switched from a Pixel phone back to an iPhone and Google will no longer allow me to make changes to my account without verifying with a phone I no longer have. (the pixel phone) I have tried account recovery, removing recovery phone number. I have no trouble accessing my account, it's when I go to make changes that it forces me to verify with old phone (not phone number, the device itself) This may be my sign to dump Google altogether. There are just some photos that my wife has shared with me I need access to. I've already THANKFULLY done a pull of my photos.
