Hello, I have exactly the same situation. Now I discovered that there is no account, the last login was 10/24/2023. I read your answers, and I don’t have a single message warning about deletion.
Only that there is little free space left.

Hi himera, are you certain that you're accessing the same email as you were previously using?

hi, Jay, yes, I had only one account on the mail, which I attached a screenshot above [Removed as per Community Guidelines]
I understand that I haven't logged in for over a year, since 10/24/2023, but there were no warning messages...😢

In general, there would've been an email sent to your account. It's possible that it was sent to the spam folder.
As the account has been deleted, unfortunately, it wouldn't be possible to recover the account or the data within.
We're sorry we can't be more helpful on this matter.
