Yeah, a month ago I wanted to test out Gemini-3.5-Transcribe, but had to wait a completely indeterminate time, got the offensive message "Your Google Cloud billing account is being processed. Processing time varies from a few moments to a few weeks.", like I'm just worthless scum. Took over a week for no reason.
Ended up with Soniox instead, took minutes to get started.
