I've stopped my Google Cloud SQL 2nd generation instance on 02 Jan this year.
Today I'm trying to start it again but just receives an error:
"Could not complete the operation"
This is the only info in the logs:
{ protoPayload: {…}
insertId: "54775E151DAA9.A2E1542.960A7970"
resource: {…}
timestamp: "2017-02-01T10:55:00.523Z"
severity: "ERROR"
logName: "projects/hti-info-center/logs/cloudaudit.googleapis.com%2Factivity"
}
All functions including restoring of backups are disabled as the instance is stopped.
Is there anywhere I can get more information about the instance's current state in order to try and resolve this issue, without having to sign up for a Google Support package?
Similar situation it's happening to me, post a comment here: https://code.google.com/p/googlecloudsql/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20log&groupby=&sort=&id=216
It seems that they have a bug with the cloud SQL instances since Jan 25th (although I have experimented a similar error on January 13th). Very very frustrating...
In your case, if the instance is stopped, have you tried to create a clone or export the data and create a new instance?
