Hello Seth, 

What were you undertaking prior to the instance becoming unresponsive? Did you run any specific gcloud commands? Any other related details might come handy. 

Automatic instance update is a maintenance default. Scheduling is automatically managed for instances, and appropriate reactions are expected whenever system events risk causing disruption. To modify any of the default parameters, you can use the command below. 

You may try to restart your service by running the following command: 

gcloud sql instances patch [INSTANCE_NAME] --activation-policy [ACTIVATION_POLICY] 

and choose activation policy value: "ALWAYS" or "ON_DEMAND".

Any other information you deem relevant might prove of great help.
