I think you got logged into your personal account that's why.

Hello @Lahari12 

1) You should choose the Qwiklabs credentials provided to you when the lab starts, and use it for the lab work. There will be an account ID and password provided to you. This will allow you to perform labs without billing, and also it is convenient for them to track your progress.

2) You must make sure it is not your personal account which is logged into the Google Cloud platform after the lab starts and you've opened the Google Cloud Console, otherwise not only it might not record your progress for the lab, but also you might get billed for your personal account. Sometimes it happens that it may get switched to your personal account.

3) If the problem still persists, use the chat support option given there for instant assistance. Describe them the problem providing as much details as possible, also, do give screenshots for them to help understand the exact error.

As for the Arcade December, it is over and you will not be able to earn any further points as the season has ended.
