I wonder if you could sue google to get back your data. They have your data and they are effectively arbitrarily deciding you can't access them anymore.
you may have to get a letter from an actual lawyer
This story keeps coming up. When you pay for email, you get a customer status. This entails a SLA and a bunch of other rights, which you most likely never get from a free service provider. I hope if those reading these comments still use free email service instead of hosting their own (or paying for it), strongly consider making the switch.
There is Google Workplace where you pay $5/month/user for a google account including email and there is support
Fixed. I used Chromium to login (which I never do) and then back to Firefox. Everything back to normal, for now.
So I have also had this happen to me in the past which was one of the reasons I abandoned gmail completely. Am I understanding this right that you had the correct password but no 2FA authentication and somehow a Firefox user agent on Linux triggered google mail servers to shut you out? I never really tried with chromium perhaps I can still retrieve old data (Google Support was obviously non existing on this issue).

Is it necessary to pay with a fiat currency to be considered as customer? Paying them with personal data doesn't count?

I feel signing up for a new paid/self-hosted email becomes tricky when a person has used an email for most of his life. All the online-services, grad school, office-alum, etc. use the old email. And now when you switch to a new one then it becomes hard I feel. Any suggestions?
I perform a periodical backup of all my Google data with https://takeout.google.com/ if the sh*t would ever hit the fan.
