Re: March Google Cloud Arcade Labs not working

There seems to be a lot of the labs for the March Google Cloud Arcade not working correctly and they don't seem to be being fixed. Is any testing actually been done for the labs?

I also just tried mini lab: BigQuery 5 in the new Trivia quiz, and it passed the first check and the last check where the table was exported, but it fails on the second check even though the table male_customers was created and exported correctly.

Generative AI Cricket Chatbot also doesn't work, and neither does GSP1269. That's already three badges where it's not possible to complete them because the labs are broken... And the support keeps saying they are working on it, or that the lab works correctly when it doesnt.

Not up to Google Standards, lot of time being wasted now a days. I have escalated one lab in Dec 2024 and I have received solution at end of January 25,

Generative AI Cricket Chatbot, not opening lab even after 11-13 mins of waiting. Escalated to support in first week of 2025, as per lab info they have updated and tested on 13th March 25. But I have not received any mail.

Now lab opening problem solved and 2nd question not accepting any answer(forget about right answer) as solution . Really do not understand who has tested and updated lab with out checking.

This will definitely discourage serious learners. Bigquery lab 3 in Feb 25 and already 2 labs till now.

GSP1269 takes over an hour to run, and every time I've tried it the tuning job is not even started. And it shouldn't be necessary to run the lab multiple times.

GSP1269 ,you need little bit of luck to complete.. depending on load on server. tried four times , completed fourth time with just 1 min left.

cell no.35 supposes to complete in 30mins. but even when your luck is on your side, tuning job is completing 100% , with just 8-9 mins left and you need to be well planned to complete last task , which requires around 5-6 mins(but completes in 8-9 mins)

If luck is not your side tuning job is completing only 50% in 78 mins..

Lab shows 2:15:00 but actual time is 1:30:00, I request all send mail to support to increase time by 45 to 60mins and also update against lab feedback.
