Ask HN: Unrecognized Google Cloud charge – scared to chargeback

Get a new card ASAP, and start migrating away from Google.
Google has worked hard to earn a reputation as an untrustworthy platform that will delete your data at whim. Don't be that person that knew they should have used Google Takeout and updated their accounts with a new email address while they had the chance!

I filed a report here (https://payments.google.com/payments/u/0/unauthorizedtransactions#)
And they closed my case stating that it was not an unauthorized charge without stating what the charge was for. Since the case is closed, I have no way to contact them. At this point, I would usually just chargeback the company, but it's Google. I've heard of Amazon shutting off access to their entire platform and products over disputes/chargebacks and I can't afford to do with Google since I have emails and such going back ~15 years.
What would you do in this situation?
