Solution 1

This might be due to a suspended billing account. I had an email saying I needed to provide more verification. After that process was finalised I was able to enable billing successfully.

Solution 2

Look for Google Cloud Platform console help.

then Verify payment information to continue..

I just created a Google Cloud Platform account and wanted to start a Compute Engine project. When I tried it asked me to set up my billing info. I put in all my information and pressed "submit and enable billing", but recieved an error:

"An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later. [OR-CBAT-05]"

I tried looking it up but i could not find what the error code is for, google directed me to stackoverflow for an answer so now I'm here. Thank you for your time in advance.

faced the same issue, but had to go through a 48-hour waiting period because of a bug in their verification process. Lesson learnt - set up billing at least 48 hours before it is needed.
