Can I store few petabytes, and pay for it for one day every 90 days to reset the timer? | ||

What surprised me about GCP was that yes, you could load all of your training data and model weights (terabytes) into a free starter account, then create a new account after 30 days and transfer the billing obligation from account A to account B. It was such a blessing for hobbyists, back in ye olde 2019. | ||

Presumably you'd have to back pay the 90 days but it's your life | ||

Given that the cloud providers just put a 0 or two on the cost to determine their prices then yes, you could try. They'll ban you after a year because it will be against their TOS. But sure, go for it. | ||
