Same here. I have a Google account I can reach via POP and wanted to log into (after a very long time).
They requested to send the confirmation code to a phone I do not have anymore. I replied the "security question" correctly. Then I had to provide the recovery email I once set up. Which I forgot.
So yes, I should have kept that up to date but it would not be difficult to prove I own the account (my usual google account pulls from that unavailable on for years) - it is just that there is nobody at Google to contact and have a look.
I will seriously look into fastmail or protonmail, despite being with Google for 14 years
