Google Cloud Shell won't start; throws usage limits exceeded msg -

this google cloud storage service related question; google cloud shell , inability start it.

it worked fine past week.

but today, 3 hours earlier onward, when visit:

https://console.cloud.google.com/storage

...and click on products & services (the side-drawer menu, top left corner), , choose storage (under storage services), , click on activate google cloud shell, says:

connecting: provisioning google cloud shell machine...

...and following message:

service usage limits temporarily exceeded. try connecting later. if believe error, please report via feedback. close

screenshot here

the message says limits exceeded... i've been doing is:

gsutil -lhr gs://some-bucket/my-dir/** | tail -10 

and

watch -n 25 'gsutil -lhr gs://some-bucket/my-dir/** | tail -10' 

i let watch command running (btw: operation incur cost?).

i uploading 205 gbs of podcast archives (mp3s) need hold onto research. far i've transferred 89.9 gbs of data using:

gsutil -m cp -r my-dir gs://some-bucket 

...from laptop (sadly, win 10 pro moment). don't have access linux box simple, clean listing human-readable file sizes , summary, last few lines, tail -10 i.e. (to keep eye on progress of uploads, nor gsutil cp provide any).

trying same on windows laptop involves trashy powershell bs have no inclination in spending time on! :(

but can't start google cloud shell, indeed great convenience...

i checked billing , see this:

cloud storage durable reduced availability storage: 2.541 gibibyte-months (source:some-bucket), us$ 0.05 debited

and

cloud storage class request: 13998 counts (source:some-bucket), us$ 0.14 debited.

that's fine me, ok pay storage use , operations make.

any tips on why cloud shell access won't start , give limit-exceeded message?

thank you.

cheers!

i received message too, it's annoying. i'm ok paying cloud shell if means not having provision server work, running container commands etc..
