I'm looking for something like that, but I'm afraid of using any google developer services, such as GCP, for personal projects. What if I breach their TOS somehow and get banned, or what if I didn't breach their TOS and still get banned?

Can't afford to test my luck until I've finished migrating all my accounts off my gmail.

Why don't you just create a new Google Account specifically for this?

Associated account bans are a thing in the Android world. I don't know if this extends to other Google platforms.

I'd also need a new credit card, I'm pretty sure they link accounts via shared CC. And even then, I'm pretty sure they still link accounts via other means. Did I link my gcp email in my android gmail app? Did I use the same IP address for both accounts? Or any of the thousand ways google has to know two accounts belong to the same person.

Honestly, creating a second google account might itself increase the chances of getting banned. Nobody knows with Google, and that's the problem.

Doesn't that require another active SIM card?

I'm using my main google account on GCP and just yesterday started to take precautions about this.

I created a new google account with no relation to my main one and added it as an owner to my GCP project, so hopefully in the event of either account being banned I can still access everything.
