Vertex AI trial users hit Veo 3.1 billing

The post describes a Google Cloud/Vertex AI user who signed up for a 30-day Standard/Plus trial, added a payment method, and can only see a trial indicator inside the app they created. They are trying to confirm whether the trial is actually active, how to cancel before it ends, and whether Vertex AI Studio’s Veo 3.1 text-to-video workflow will consume trial credits or immediately charge their card.

// ANALYSIS

This reads like an onboarding and billing-UX problem more than a model problem.

–The trial status is hard to discover outside the specific app/project, which makes it easy for users to miss whether they are still inside the free period.
–The Veo 3.1 warning is credible: Google Cloud publishes usage-based pricing for Veo video generation, including $0.40/second for video + audio, so the user’s charging concern is justified.
–The post will resonate with people testing Google Cloud’s generative media stack for the first time, especially anyone unsure how trial credits map to project-level usage.

Forsy is an early dashboard for tracking how agent work might show up in the economy, with metrics like agent GDP, deployed agent employment, revenue, stack costs, and productivity. It is directionally compelling as a thesis prototype, but the methodology will matter more than the charts if it is going to feel credible.
