>What does Google expect customers to do here?

https://support.google.com/a/contact/admin_no_access

To the OP ( 'HelloThur ), this is the answer to your most immediate question. I found it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17120223

> Greetings. This is Alex Diacre here from G Suite Support. This has been flagged for my team and we’re looking into it. If any G Suite customer has trouble accessing their account they can always contact Google Cloud Support here: https://support.google.com/a/contact/admin_no_access (this is a special form to use when you cannot access any admin account)

There's a similar url, but with different form fields, here: https://support.google.com/a/contact/recovery_form

And various forms of "googling" for where to go aren't super helpful.

That’s a url worth copying into a password manager...

Just to be clear, OP is factually incorrect. You can contact support using the above link if you are locked out.

Source: worked on the G Suite Support team for several years.

This is pedantic in the worst possible way. If you make it impossible to find that link, then it's as if it wasn't there.

It seems this link should be mentioned in the email the OP got.

If you cant find the link, you lose admin privileges. It's a test of merit.

This kind of thinking on behalf of Googlers is why every professional on earth thinks Google's customer support is shamefully terrible.

Practically, he's correct.

Google offered no such remedy in the reply detailing his options.

Umm, this link seems to take you to an account recovery form (I haven't tried putting in my account details, but it straight up asks for a username/phone)
