Yes, this is happening to me right now on my G Suite: https://twitter.com/ivankozik/status/1254988039467614209 - no warning and no spam on my part. Every account is disabled, all incoming emails bounce, messages to my Google Voice number are /dev/nulled, my YouTube channel does not exist. Requesting account review as the super admin results in the same "please contact another administrator" autoresponse...


Are you the only admin in your org?


I think I have one super admin and four regular users, but everyone is disabled.


This is very strange, but also is your Super admin an everyday user account, or a specific isolated admin account?

Google normally suspends accounts (notification after suspension with no real info) for heavily reported spam, they will suspend a ton of accounts if your domain is sending a ton of spam, even if its not via g-suite directly. This may be the case are you sure your domain is secured?


Super admin is isolated, not my everyday account.

I don't know how any of my accounts could have been sending spam. I don't send unsolicited email, and I forward messages from those other four accounts to my primary email account, so I hope I would have noticed a spam problem. But because I cannot log in to anything, and didn't get any information or notification from Google, I can't be sure, of course.

I am subscribed to a lot of mailing lists and I wonder if, given my low human outbound volume, whether gmail-generated "bad attachment" bounces could have resulted in this. But that seems unlikely. More likely is someone ran a query and decided I had too many emails or was using too much G Suite storage. I look forward to hearing any information at all from Google!


Can the super admin contact G Suite support?


This might be strange, but it's not unusual. Google is notorious for banning users, and providing no recourse - except getting your story to the front page of course. HN / Reddit / etc front page is the one true customer service channel they have.
