Is that the only consequence? What happens if they don't pay at all, what would Google do? Genuinely asking, I have no clue.

MX records show Twitter is using Google Workspace too. I wonder if Google would threaten shutting down email and document access in addition to GCP.

How does that even work when they don't pay? Do they take them to courts?

Depends on the terms/contract. Since its twitter I'd think they'd have a contract, which states duration and how much they pay. Once they don't pay, as long as the contract states they can cutoff service, well they cutoff service and/or servers. But again, depends on what's in said contract.

The faster Twitter dies, the better. Reddit has a complicated history, but Twitter has done nothing but warp people's sense of self worth and ideas of what social media is and what their presence should be online. It's a legacy of violence upon the mind

Maybe Google should refuse to host their services until they pay, like how everything else works.
