Hi everyone, since there were plenty horror storries of people having their google account randomly suspended and couldn't get it back I have following question: is there any known scenario when it has happened for a gmail paid plan user?

Some backstory of this question:

For some time I've been trying to move all my important services to use my custom-domain e-mail address but I'm still very anxious that I can get banned to my google account for no particular reason and loose my recent e-mails (I'm trying to do a backup of my e-mails and upload it to my local server every couple months but sometimes I forgot about it and don't do it for like 1 year or so).

I've noticed that my free google plan is going out of free space and I'm thinking about switching to paid plan - maybe I'm too naive but I've also got curious if I'll become a "better class citizen" for google if I start paying them (and don't get my account randomly suspended).
