Termination of GCP Project

[ststhoho]

Hello. We are planning to close (delete) our project, which is composed of AppEngine, CloudSQL, CloudStorage, CloudBuild, etc., by the end of next month. After closure, we would like to ensure that no charges will be incurred.

Would the procedure involve the following steps?

1. Stopping the project billing
2. Deleting the project

Additionally, would it be possible to set a timer to close the project at 23:59:59 on the last day of the month?

Thank you for your assistance.

Shutting down a project stops all billing and traffic serving ( my personal openion to still for safer side delete resources and disable billing), shuts down any Google Cloud Platform App Engine applications, and terminates all Compute Engine instances. All project data associated with Google Cloud and Google APIs services becomes inaccessible.

After a 30-day waiting period, the project and associated data are permanently deleted from the console.

Note that after the 30-day waiting period ends, the time it takes to completely delete a project may vary. For example, if a project has billing set up, it might not be completely deleted until the current billing cycle ends, you receive the next bill, and your account is successfully charged. Additionally, the number and types of services in use may also affect when the system permanently deletes a project.

Direct timer option is not available but you can schedule below gcloud command or python script command at mentioned timing using crontab,cloud function,composer etc

gcloud projects delete PROJECT_ID
