OAuth 2.0 action advised

[Phil Staub]

I just got an email from Google advising me that an OAuth project I manage has been inactive for 5 months and will be deleted in 30 days unless I take action. Clicking on the project designation takes me to the Google Cloud project page for Got Your Back Project. Clicking on the button gives me a list of 7 "projects" (I guess that would be the way to describe them), all named "Got Your Back Project", but all with a different ID. 

I'm assuming that this has happened due to some authorization expiring and when I re-authorized the project.

A couple questions: 

1. Is it fair to assume that I can delete some of these except for the one(s) currently being used?

2. How do I know which one (if any) is currently being used? The IDs don't seem to bear any resemblance to anything in my configurations.

3. Is this going to get any more complicated? It used to be a nice simple tool. Now it's almost become unusable for anyone other than an IT professional.

Thanks,

Phil

I've received a couple of the same type of messages.  It's specifically talking about gyb-project-yyq-1no-qjz though I also have one listed in the console for gyb.  They both show the same creation date, and I can't find anything that tells me which one is used for my daily backups though I assume gyb since it's not complaining about that one (yet).

Each time you run GYB setup, it creates a new GCP project. I recommend you to delete all non-used project and maintain running only the projects actually configured to your actual GYB setup. You can check all existent projects in https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-resource-manager

gyb-project-yyq-1no-qjz is the project ID created in your GCP. Please check https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-resource-manager to find the proper project and decide to delete if it should not not have access to your env.

The problem is that in the cloud-resource-manager, there are 7 GYB projects, each with a different ID, and 4 of which have the same "last accessed" date. How do I know which is the one that is running (now or at least most recently)? I'd like to avoid accidentally shutting down the current one.

It's not usual that the same setup triggers different projects, I recommend shutting down all these projects and setup it again once.

Navigate to: 

https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/dashboard

And select each of your gyb projects. If they're being used you'll see API traffic metrics in the past 30 days. 

If there's no traffic they should be safe to delete.

OK, I THINK I got it. But what a mess that interface is!

For what used to be a nice, simple tool, this has turned into an administrative nightmare due to Google's supposedly well-meaning safeguards.
