Ah. I am sorry, At the time having done what you did, I managed to find an email trail which said "if you walk it back now, this way, we will refund and put you back on free" and I did.
I cannot recall what URLs or I would share. Basically, I think you acted in good faith, missed a mail or message and were lost. There was some class action threat.
This was within months of the forced cut over.
Ah thanks! No worries. I actually found the URL from a Reddit search, but it has expired: https://admin.google.com/u/1/ac/billing/legacytransition
