Those who used/are using Colab: Why are you using/stopped using it?

"Why are you using" is mostly easy to answer, I can try guessing a few answers myself (though I've never used it so far), but if you have another reason I didn't mention feel free to mention it, as I read the Collab guide too and also examining the possibility of using it.

So, some obvious reasons for using are:
-Access to higher end cards without upgrading pc
-Lower cost (no impact on your electricity bill vs using 100% cpu/gpu for hours)

Can't think of something else. List below if I missed one.

The other question which is just as important:


People who used/tried Google Colab for deepfakes but disliked/stopped using it, why? Personally, as someone who never tried it (yet) it seems too good to be true. Super high end cards for free? I can train much better models without using more electricity? I know it has something like a 12h hard limit, but still seems very worth it. I don't see why someone wouldn't use it unless they already own tesla cards, so please enlighten me.
