Problem deploying my functions to Google Cloud

Question

I'm having a problem deploying my functions to Google Cloud:

How and message appears in Firebase CLI:


    + functions: Finished running predeploy script.
    i functions: ensuring necessary APIs are enabled ...
    + functions: all necessary APIs are enabled
    i functions: preparing functions directory for uploading ...

How and message appears on the Firebase console:

    DashBoard

You should note the error message: "The billing account for the owning project is disabled in state absent". If this is surprising to you, contact Firebase support. support.google.com/firebase/contact/support — Doug Stevenson
You probably upgraded to Node 10 as you received a notice indicating that Node 8 was being phased out. I know that's what I did, and a few weeks ago everything worked fine. Now, they're limiting free plans to Node 8, so I had to revert to Node 8 by editing package.json in my cloud functions project. This limitation of the Spark plan is mentioned here firebase.google.com/pricing — fpsColton

I am new to Stack Overflow, so I am unable to mark a question as a duplicate or comment, so I am answering again here:

Node.js 8 Firebase cloud functions are currently being phased out, as Node.js 8 was recently marked end as "end-of-life" by the Node.js foundation.

Deployment of Node.js 8 functions will stop after February 15, 2021, and executions of deployed Node.js functions will stop after March 15, 2021.

If you've recently switched to Node.js 10 Firebase cloud functions, these require the Blaze pay-as-you-go billing plan and the Firebase CLI version ≥ 8.1.0. Using the Spark free tier, you cannot deploy Node.js 10 Firebase cloud functions.

The error message "Cause: The billing account for the owning project is disabled in state absent" provides some information the cause of this issue.
