I just learned from @dobermai at 2023 IoT Trends Part 1 | Adoption of Integration-friendly IIoT Standards and Protocols about the Announcement of Discontinuing Google Cloud IoT Core Service.

Google will retire the service on the 16th of August, 2023. There is also a Hacker News thread about it.

ClearBlade announced a full-service replacement for the IoT Core with their service, including a migration path from Google IoT Core to ClearBlade.
