Firebase Console Project Settings -> Billing ->

1. Add Card -> 3DS Visa ->Verify OTP

2. Set Primary -> Test $1 charge

3. Blaze Plan -> Quotas unlocked

I will try

HDFC/ICICI Visa + UPI auto-debit bypasses ₹500 trap. Google Pay UPI = instant verification.

I tried google pay and have sufficient balance but still it gives failed and also then I tried debit card and it gives recurring payment issue (I thought debit card has issue of auto payment). But atleast UPI should have to work and that's not working.

I will update with above options once done

  • UPI secondary status Firebase ignores, demands card

  • Recurring mandate timeout 24hr bank approval window

  • ₹500 minimum top-up Firebase Blaze activation threshold

Firebase Console : Billing: Payments Profile :

1. GPay: Make Primary

2. Test Charge ₹10 : Approve Mandate

3. Blaze Plan : Quota Unlock

its working, thanks
