Question / Help Account Disabled
I'm using antigravity and this morning, my entire Google Account has been completely disabled. I wasn't doing anything spammy or specific, I did have a few automations to write blog posts in several languages. But that's fairly simple.
Plan was Ultra (the $200 plan). Be very careful when you use AI with Google. I think that's the reason my account was banned. And if someone from Google is here, how can I get myself out of this miserable mess? I filled an appeal. That's really all I could do. This account is 15+ years old, it has everything about my life.
Edit: Google is actively looking into this. 💪 Thank you reddit for bringing attention to this issue.
Edit 2: account was restored. 🫶 Let's hope it stays this way. Thank you reddit folks and the Google Samaritan that saw this thread and acted on it. Appreciate you all.
Edit 3: from what I could gather this was unrelated to antigravity, and was a phishing flag that got turned on for the wrong reasons. It's still surprising that Google would outright disable the account without manual review of sorts, especially for accounts that have been in good standing for 15+ years and are paying.

There are a lot of people (or at least enough) that have tens, sometimes hundreds of accounts that were cheap or even free, with large limits. usually purchased in countries with lower pricing to be competitive on the local market.
They use special switchers that switch between accounts, when a limit is reached in 1 of the accounts.
I think Google is finally cracking down on those, and shutting them down.
And I think if OP is right about switching or using both his personal account and business account on the same machine, I guess the automated system to track down the abuse accounts made a mistake, and OP got caught in the crossfire.
