Assistance Needed for Extending Free Trial on Google Cloud

Hi!
I noticed the message "Your free trial is over" on my Google Cloud account, and I can no longer access my web app. The app is crucial as it needs to remain accessible for judges to test it during the evaluation period.

Is there a way to extend the free trial or gain temporary access without incurring additional costs? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Not that I know, but can you recharge like 5 USD? that will be more than enough considering how cheap Gemini is

    Thank you for the suggestion! Unfortunately, the issue lies specifically with the costs of Vertex AI Vector Search, which are significantly higher than what I can manage with a small recharge like $5. Even with minimal usage, the charges for using the vector index endpoints deployed in Vertex AI Vector Search quickly add up.

    Unfortunately, I had to undeploy the vector indexes due to these high costs, which has made the web link inaccessible for testing by the judges.
