SSH and SSL problems after free trial expired

Hello,

My Google Cloud VM free trial just ended, however I enabled billing and reactivated my account to continue to use my VM (still falling under the free tier). Since I reactivated I've run into 2 problems - I'm unable to connect to the VM via SSH and my SSL is now gone on my reserved static IP. I AM ABLE to connect via gcloud though.

This VM stores my discord bot. I was able to connect via gcloud and start my script. Secondly, what's odd is the my website still directs me to the IP via the nameservers but only via HTTP and not HTTPS. My static web pages are no longer displayed only the default Apache2 Debian Default Page. It appears my custom index.html is not longer there.

Not really sure what happened. It appears the reactivation of the server messed a few things up. Should I mount an older SNAPSHOT?

Hello,

Please use the troubleshooting tool to better understand the observed SSH behavior:

In regards to your web pages: A straightforward approach is to simply restart the service.
