Google Cloud: The Project ID specified is not available

Question

Basically the same as the following two,

• google developers console Project ID is not available - but must use this Project ID, which the OP says (in 2014) it took more than 2 weeks but still not available.
• Google Developers Console : "The Project ID specified is not available. Please select another. These identifiers must be unique.", which the OP says (in 2015) "Logged in the next day and the Project ID was available without having to do anything".

however, it's 2022 and I deleted a project with Google Cloud cli several days ago, and tried to create another one with the same name/id now, but it is still not available/working.

How long do I have to wait, and where / how can I check such Google Cloud "internal cache records"?

Answer 1

When you delete a project, you can recover that project within 30 days (undelete). That means the Project ID is not available until the project has been permanently deleted.
