<@UHTP242EB>, `pulumi up --refresh` should discover that cloud resource was deleted, right? It was deleted due to 'deleteBeforeCreate' on a previous run, then creation failed,  so now I am adding '--refresh' in  a hope that pulumi will figure out that resource is not there anymore, but it still tries to update :confused:

Try Pulumi refresh directly and see if it notices it

simple retry on CI succeeded , it seems that response was cached by a our proxy or GCP API is eventually consistent
