This is the first time I am taking the workload from my native machine to cloud. I hope there would be few others who are new to any cloud platform like me. So I have created this thread to help out each other. I would request you to post GCP related questions here so that this thread may serve the purpose of gathering most of the GCP related questions and may save time and energy to browse multiple topics on the same content.
\n\nI have a question regarding How to see if the GCP credits given by google is successfully validated or not?
\n\nIn my Billing account I can see in Credits promotion ID is Kaggle Other PA Funded Credit elizabethpark xxxxxxxx with promotion value 268.34eur. I can see below that it says Free Trial and Promotional value is 267.84eur. Is my account setup appropriate for me to use the credit and TPU given in this competition? Just don't want to end up paying a huge bill.

I see the same two lines, and the charges are taken from the Kaggle credit, probably because it expires earlier for me. I can't find the costs components for some reason, but I am quite sure I don't pay for the TPU I use.
