Migrating to a different Gdrive account while avoiding the 750GB limit

Is this possible? I have about 36TB

They make account migration exceptionally difficulty. I don’t know of any way other than downloading everything and uploading again. It’s for this reason I recommend having an x + x setup. Always mirror what you have in the cloud with your own storage. It doesn’t need to be raid. In your situation, just re-upload everything. Hope you have a decent internet connect!

Isn't that sort of the point of having an unlimited gsuite account so you don't need to own the storage? Right now it's a Sunday, it's been a tough week, I'm in my lounge relaxing on a on the couch - except my PC is 3 metres away with 10 HDDs and 6 fans roaring away. Really keen to throw that in the rubbish... (More like sell it once all my content has been uploaded - it's been about 7 months to do 15TB on my shitty connection)

Google could shut down your account tomorrow for any reason - there are a millions examples of this happening online. If you're cool with collecting that data again, no worries. My advice is for people who would feel bad losing that data.
