Can't create IBM Cloud account. Same error all the time - ibm-cloud

I'm struggling to create an account two days in a row.
The error is:
Your account cannot be created at this time. Code: 17d58664-2fd5-4ab2-bd80-9609d0566d7a
I have tried without and with VPN and in incognito mode.
Tried two corporate email addresses at different domains and my personal gmail account.
No success.

Password Protect Looker (Google Data Studio) Report Via SSO

I built a Looker (Google Data Studio) report. The organization uses Outlook (Microsoft) for their emails (i.e. the domain is registered there, so for example, if the domain was underthesea then an email would be johnsmith#underthesea.com, and this is hosted by Outlook/Azure/Microsoft).
Is there a way to be able to access the report only via the organization's email? (I believe this is called SSO.)
The goal is that only those with active organizational emails would be able to see the report, which has sensitive organizational data in it.
I have researched this and have gotten nowhere. My question is whether this is possible at all since the emails are connected to Microsoft and the dashboard is in a Google application.
If it is possible - how?
I tried researching but it is not clear what is necessary to create the SSO if the organizational emails are not connected to Google.

Google workspace account has been suspended with no recovery method

Many years ago I set up my domain so Google would manage my domain's email. Today, possibly because I was accessing from another state, Google decides to suspend the service:
Your organization's Google workspace account has been suspended. Please contact your Google workspace organization administrator to re-activate your organization.
So since I'm the administrator, I try to logon with those credentials, which are correct, but they challenge me, and want me to complete an email loop, but the recovery email is in the locked domain!
There seems to be no way to get this fixed. There's some code they can send me that I'm supposed to put my domain's server to prove I'm legit, but Google controls that...I have nothing on the domain except email. I'm paying Hover as the registrar.
Any way out?
I appreciate "Only Google can help", but there's no path forward. No phone number, no button to "open a ticket", no live chat. If you can't log on as administrator, none of that is available. How would a superuser get through on a problem like this?
There is a page that says:
To get phone, chat, or email support for your legacy free account at xxxxxxx.com, you need to upgrade to Google Workspace.
To continue, switch to an administrator account. This will open the Google Admin console.
https://support.google.com/a
But I can't log in as administrator to upgrade my account so I can get support because when I log in with correct credentials, they send a challenge to an email address that's in the locked domain!
I can't be the only one this happened to, so figure they're just hiding the path to victory so they don't have to answer too many phone calls. This page might be as close as I've gotten: https://support.google.com/a/answer/6335621
When I try to open a support case under my non-admin account, it says
You do not have permission to create support cases.
I found a form to fill out: https://support.google.com/accounts/contact/disabled2
The above form accepts any email address, so you enter any email address that you currently have access to (not one that is locked, obviously).
But matter what I do, they want me to prove my identity by adding something to my domain. I've asked Hover how to do this, but have not received a response yet.
Here's the email Google sent

Hover is who I pay every year to keep my domain name active. I logged on, opened a chat, pasted-in the email from Google, and they were more than happy to update those records, right there on the spot!
Then, I went back to the email that Google sent me. To complete this authentication loop, there is a button on the page to re-check DNS.
After refreshing the page, I was provided the option to change the password. After I did that, I was logged into the gSuite administrator account, finally!"
They also automatically changed the recovery email to the one I was using that was outside the domain that was locked.

Locked out of GSuite Admin after domain verification

I have signed up for Gsuite Essentials and attempted up upgrade to Gsuite Enterprise. I only have a single email address eg a#abc.com. I had already been using this account as a normal google account. (no gmail though).
I couldn't get the admin console to show the upgrade option, but found I needed to verify my domain. So I added the TXT record to my domain abc.com, which would then let me verify.
I could then log in to the admin console as a#abc.com and clicked on the upgrade option and completed the process. This then let my a#abc.com user have access to Gmail. I have not transferred any domain settings over to google, that is all still externally hosted.
I can now no longer log in to the admin console, it says that my a#abc.com account doesn't have the rights and I need to log in as the administrator. There is no other account linked to the Gsuite settings, so there is no other administrator. I can still log in to the normal google account and do the same functions as previous.
I have now removed the TXT record hoping that would cancel it out again.
How do I get access to the admin side again?
Side note: What I am mostly worried about is that I put my credit card details into the signup, but can't get into the admin page and can't contact any form of support. It is literally impossible to get support to use the serve I paid for.
First thing first, the txt records are a string for the only purpose to verify the ownership of the domain therefore deleting them won't change anything you only need this record for the verification process and once is done you can delete them.
As an example is like a text message sent to your mobile phone, if you delete the message nothing will happen right?
I tell you this so you won't more time on the domain DNS zone settings because the issue is not there and you won't solve the problem.
There may be few things that may have happened.
The first thing you should do is to navigate in an Incognito page, make sure that is the only incognito page that you have opened and log in with a#abc.com.
Try to run different test in incognito, the issue really looks like that you are logged in with multiple Google Accounts and when you go do admin.google.com it picks up the wrong one. That's why you should go in incognito.
EDIT
Use as reference this link Here.
Follow the steps in Paragraph 'I'm taking control from another admin' here the steps:
Go to the G Suite Essentials sign-up page.
2, Sign up using your email address at the domain you're verifying.
Use an address where you can get mail.
Follow instructions in the Setup Wizard to become the admin who manages G Suite Essentials for all users at your organization.
If this didn't solve the issue then you should contact the Google Support and they will tell you what happened.
The thing is that if you can't access the Google Admin you won't be able to contact the Google Support, hence you should follow this:

Unable to create buckets

After following https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/signup step by step, I'm unable to create any buckets.
Expected results:
Follow Guide, activate cloud storage, enter billing information
Reality:
When clicking on the Cloud console, I see "Invalid Credentials"
When I click create new bucket, once again I receive "Invalid Credentials"
I've logged off and on, waited a couple of days, tried different applications, but have not been able to use the cloud service.
Billing Screenshot 1
Billing Screenshot 2
API Enabled Screenshot
Credential Failure Screenshot
I'm currently using the file service which is to be discontinued at some point, so I need to get this working.
The account I'm using with app engine has been working well since the app engine beta many years ago, and I'm still being billed on other applications so I don't see a rhyme or reason why this isn't working properly. I did go ahead and logged out of google, cleared cookies, cache etc and created a fresh account and still received same error message. Tried a couple of different credit cards as well. Using firefox, but did try chrome as well.
Thanks!
2014-03-30 Turned out I needed to use Chrome, unknown why Chrome didn't work on first attempt.

Google Adsense Resubmit Problem Error Email Aready Exist

I'm trying to resubmit my website to Google AdSense and it's giving the following error again and again:
A user with the email you specified
already exists Please select a
different Google Account login to
access this account.
How to resolve this issue?
I have changed my password, recovered it but still not working.
You could try logging in to the account associated with the email address you are trying. It sounds like you're trying to create an account using an email address that you have already used to create a different account.
