Not exclusive to GCP.

Backblaze has previously locked our account on a saturday.

They claim we were putting too much pressure on their cluster.

They could've locked the 1! token that was causing 90% of the load, but they locked the whole account which was used by 10 different apps for a veriety of purposes causing unecessary downtime in some production workloads.

Also the workload has been quite consistent for days/weeks, so they could've detected it earlier and/or address it in a better way.
