With the Twitter limits today, I think we are already seeing the fallout begin.

It took me 3 minutes of slow loading to get this and this.

It's been over half an hour now and I still have a blank twitter page, what if today is the day twitter actually goes down.

Normally a company the size of Twitter might get a grace period from Google to pay their bill. Since its been pretty clear that Musk doesn't even pay rent on office building anymore, I wonder if Google will cease all access to the Twitter servers/services running in GCP immediately and demand payment before allowing access again.
