Google Cloud Assist reply mixes in Japanese text, user jokes it's a Chinese model

A Reddit user shared a screenshot of Google Cloud's Cloud Assist (Preview) support assistant explaining how Spend Cap enforcement works: once breached, a hard lock requires manually clicking "Remove limit" under Budgets & alerts in the Billing Console, with services taking up to an hour to resume.
The punchline: the English interface reply includes Japanese strings like 「適用済み」 and 「利用額上限を解除」, prompting the poster to joke that Google is secretly using a Chinese model as its assistant. The screenshot doubles as a useful troubleshooting guide for Google Cloud billing caps.
