hi @Yugali there is an issue with Level 3 cloud function lab 1 and 4. Have lost multiple attempts trying them 😞 

It asks to enable Eventrac API and service account does not have permission to enable it.

[yashgoyal365]

Raise this with Qwiklabs support through mail if the problem continues they will mark the lab as optional as well.

I have raised the issues, still no confirmation from them, many people mailed them still nothing.

[yashgoyal365]

It will take some time but you will get the confirmation soon.

Level 3: Cloud run functions I and III there is a problem with permissions. Cloud run functions II and IV, I am able complete only through CLI . Even  though I am able to deploy function through console, check task  error still continues for II and IV labs.

I am really shocked when I seen instructions as they are old. If you are  new  to arcade and  try to follow these instructions and complete all four cloud run functions , its very difficult. Even though we used to face odd problems with labs earlier, this is season percent of errors increased drastically.

Level 3:Cloud run functions labs are fixed now and description also updated.  Skill boost learners can use instructions and console to complete labs.

Keep learning. All  the best
