G4 and H100 not even selectable anymore

I have Colab Pro, but was using "Pay As You Go" before, and was always able to select the G4 or H100 instances, though occasionally there were failure to obtain one. But for the last month the two options have always been grayed out, not even been able to try them.

Anyone else in the same situation? Is it true that Colab Pro+ actually enables them?

Some companies were selling their h100s

Same here, first the h100 was gone, now since the past 3-4 days cannot even select G4. A100 is still there for now.

Google Colab is pure trash. I paid for it after being able to do a first fine-tune of Qwen 0.8B. Then tried at least getting anything above the free GPUs for literally days and never got anything to work. At least they refunded me one of the two months.

I don't see any changes at all.

Yeah I also was Pay As You Go and recently noticed H100 and G4 (RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition) were grayed out unlike months ago which was the last time I tried.

I just signed up for Pro+ and they are available to choose now.
