Well, good news. I open a ticket with Scaleway, and everything is resolved. 
The theory I have is I actually opened my account January 2025, 3 months ago, but I did not use it. Now, 3 months later, I logged in, and started to secure my account, add all my important information, and this could have looked suspicious. Still, it had my worried for a moment.

As someone who has previously been a victim of ID Theft, it makes me really uncomfortable that a web hosting provider would ask so much information, to approve your account, approve it, and then quickly lock it before you could do anything. I currently have no services with Scaleway (or any previous services). This feels shady.

Scaleway, ask for payment information.
OK. Submit payment information.
Scaleway, ask you verify payment method.
OK. You log into your credit company, find the code.
Scaleway, ask you to verify your ID.
OK, you show both the front and back of your ID, then smile for the camera.
Scaleway: "We noticed unusual activities on your account. Create a support ticket to unlock your account."
Seriously?

@elena can't comment about all European hosting companies, but mine and several others I looked at don't cap you total transfer volume but clearly tell you up front what bandwidth you get for your money.
Look at @beasts for example, or #OVH or #Scaleway etc.

@ben Nice. Re #Scaleway payment confirmation https://www.bentasker.co.uk/posts/blog/the-internet/migrating-my-services-away-from-us-providers.html , no need to worry. They inform you immediately if a payment fails and retry automatically later. You have multiple days to fix issues. I've never had any problems even though occasionally I had maxed out the payment method associated with my account.
I spent some time yesterday learning #Terraform with the goal of setting up CI/CD infra on #GitLab as code. I understood the difference between resources and data, which allowed me to describe gitlab group, define some runners and inject their registration tokens into cloud init profile of #scaleway instances. This all works, I can plan, apply, and destroy this at will. I still need to figure out object storage and policy for runner cache and overall project structure that fits typical terraform
