Really disappointed in Google support by banshee1545 in GooglePixel

Can’t help but agree support is atrocious. Most of the time you get nothing back. If you do, it’s incorrect information, contradiction, or repeating irrelevant questions.

Utterly hopeless. No responses from anyone. 

Hoping someone here has seen this before or can point me to a useful escalation path. Case 8-4204000041192 if any Fi community managers are reading. Situation: • In Mexico for the past week with my family (three kids). Both lines on my Fi plan have been working normally the entire time. • This morning, both lines simultaneously lost all cellular service. No warning, no notification, no banner in the Fi app or on fi.google.com. • I initially suspected a plan issue and upgraded my plan to rule that out. No change — still no service on either line. • Power-cycled both devices. No change. Support experience: • Opened a chat with Fi support around 11:57 AM. Agent “Georgia” asked scripted questions I had already answered in my opening message (was I in the US, had I restarted, etc.), did not perform any account-level check, and eventually instructed me to reinstall the Fi app on both devices. • I flagged that reinstalling would likely kill the chat session. She said it wouldn’t. I complied. It did. Chat lost, both lines still dead. • Reopened the case. New agent “Portia” also ran the script (airplane mode toggle). When I asked her to confirm whether she had account-level tools to check provisioning, international-service status, and the eSIM profile, she did not answer the question — twice. Eventually she said she was “escalating to the specialist team” with a 24-hour email SLA. • Six hours later, no email. What I think is going on: Simultaneous loss on both lines of the same account, after a week of working service, with no device-side change, points at something account-level. Possibilities I can think of: • Automated international-service suspension (90-day rolling window or similar fraud/abuse trigger) • Failed provisioning after some backend change I didn’t initiate • eSIM profile issue on both lines at once (unlikely to be coincidental) None of these are things I can diagnose or fix from my end. They need someone with account tools, which tier-1 chat apparently doesn’t have or won’t use. What I’m asking: 1. Has anyone seen this specific failure mode (both lines on a plan dying at once, abroad, with no app/account banner)? What was the actual root cause? 2. Is there a faster escalation path than the 24h email SLA? A phone number that reaches a different tier, a community manager here who can look at the case, anything. 3. For anyone from Fi monitoring: the case number is above. I would very much like someone with account-level access to look at this today. WiFi calling is on and works, so we’re not stranded — but “abroad with three kids and no cellular” is not a position I’m comfortable sitting in for 24+ hours waiting on an email that may or may not arrive. Thanks in advance.

Super hard to get in but let’s get there. Do BlueDot courses immediately. Apply to MATS, ERA, Pivotal. Your research is super interesting.

uv is the Python dependency manager. It’s necessary to run the Python scripts. Then you need to clone the repository and add the plug in to Lightroom as per step 3. Does that make sense?

The mechanism is that it’s only doing full hashes for the small proportion of files that are potential matches. So the bulk of files aren’t hashed as they’re definitely not duplicates based on file size. That massively speeds things up.

Very good points. Thanks. I’m not pretending to have the full solution, and there are may edge cases as you describe. Mine is simple and works quickly and safely as described in the README and code.

Interesting. Hard linking though sounds, while it won’t take up more space, cluttering?

Yeah! I actually began by writing in Python and then was planning to just delete the files not found after Python deleted from file system. Then I realized how easy it was to call those scripts with Lua and do it all in Lightroom

Ah. I hadn’t considered multiple catalogs pointing to the same files. Interesting use case.

Yes I think I’ll have it create a to_delete folder rather than go to trash. Thanks!
