Locked myself out of Google Compute engine

I ran into an issue when I mistakenly changed my quotum for Google Compute engine queries per 100 seconds per user to 0.

I thought 0 would mean 'unlimited' but apparently it's really 0. Making this worse: The quota page itself falls under the Google Compute Engine query API so I can't access that at all.

It feels like I just bricked my entire project but I hope there is a way around this.

I only have a bronze service account, so can't really go to Google with this.

I tried to reproduce this issue and I wasn't able to do it. As it was already mentioned by @arp-sunny in the comment section, this situation looks like an issue on Google Cloud side. In such cases you can reach out to Google Cloud Support or/and follow the documentation Report issues and request features with issue trackers and file an issue report:

Google reviews every new issue report submitted by users. Sometimes one of our staff will ask for clarification or followup. Once we're able to replicate the issue, we'll tell you that it's been forwarded to the appropriate team.

Depending on the circumstances, we may be able to provide periodic updates while an issue is being looked at, but usually we cannot provide too many specifics about the exact cause of an issue, or when it will be fixed.

When we've fixed an issue in production, we'll indicate this and then we'll close the issue.

In addition to that, whenever you see any issues with Google Cloud Platform you can check status of it at this dashboard.
