The message "Provisioning lab resources Est. time remaining...`` You see, it is due to the time the lab takes to load resources. At this time resources are being loaded that are needed to complete the lab.
Once the resources will load completely, all the details for Google Console connection will be visible. It also might take some time for credentials to be visible after you see the "Est. time remaining 0 min" message. So, kindly wait for sometime and then start performing in the lab.
You cannot pause a lab
You have until the timer runs out to finish the lab.
When you start a lab, enter your temporary credentials (for GCP labs), and start the Console, resources are made available to you in the cloud. These resources are in effect only for the duration of the lab (that is, until the timer runs out, or you click the End Lab button, whichever happens first).
Pausing a lab would mean that those cloud resources would need to stay active while your work is paused. This is not permitted.
We recommend that you read through the lab instructions before you click Start Lab.
Note: For AWS labs, the lab creates your one-time-use credentials and automatically signs you in with them.
What happens when you click End Lab
If you are still within the grace period (typically less than 3 minutes) and you click End Lab, the lab closes, and the Qwiklabs credits are refunded to you. The lab will not be listed on your My Learning page.
If the grace period has passed, and you click End Lab before you are finished, you lose all your work for this lab, the Qwiklabs credits expire, and the lab is listed on your My Learning page as incomplete.
If you finish the lab before the timer runs out, you can click End Lab, and the lab is listed on My Learning as complete.
