From local linux , I tried check vpn status.

Why detailedStatus not proceed ? Why status still "FIRST_HANDSHAKE" ?

Shared key and TargetIP was not wrong.

$ gcloud compute vpn-tunnels describe gvis-vpn-tunnel

And echo was here.

 creationTimestamp: '2020-07-28T15:05:44.541-07:00'

description: ''


detailedStatus: Allocating resources. VPN tunnel will start soon.


id:'2892217179569987543'


ikeVersion: 2


kind: compute#vpnTunnel

status: FIRST_HANDSHAKE

UPDATE

Last week , I could connect vpn tunnel. From this monday, could not connect and I saw logging as follows:

Pre-shared key is same since December 2019. Everyday, When I want to connect , made vpn-tunnel like this,

 gcloud compute vpn-tunnels create [my-vpn-tunnel] \
     --peer-address 58.xxx.xxx.xxx \
     --ike-version 2 \
     --shared-secret [Pre-shared key] \
     --local-traffic-selector=192.xxx.100.0/24 \
     --remote-traffic-selector=172.xx.xx.0/24,192.xxx.10.0/24 \
     --target-vpn-gateway [my-vpn] \
     --region us-east1 \
     --project [project-id]

And When I disconnect, delete vpn-tunnel like this,

gcloud compute vpn-tunnels delete [my-vpn-tunnel] --region=us-east1

I've always use gcloud on my linux shell script.

Because your problem resolved on its own we can only guess what caused this issue before.

As I wrote in the comments, it's better to follow troubleshooting guide and start from Cloud VPN logs.

2020-07-28T22:45:02.148478373Z  tried 1 shared key for '35.xxx.xxx.xxx' - '58.xxx.xxx.xxx', but MAC mismatched

Message Authentication Codes (MACs) are computed based on the pre shared key and the message and if pre shared keys do not match, corresponding MACs will not match as well. Meanwhile, it doesn't look like your case because you claim that "pre-shared key is same since December 2019".

2020-07-28T22:45:02.029020541Z  remote host is behind NAT

Because you use NAT, I'd recommend you to have a look at the troubleshooting guide section On-premises gateways behind NAT:

Cloud VPN can work with on-premises or peer VPN gateways that are behind NAT. This is made possible by UDP encapsulation and NAT-T, and only one-to-one NAT is supported.

more details you can find in this section:

Cloud VPN only supports one-to-one NAT via UDP encapsulation for NAT-Traversal (NAT-T). One-to-many NAT and port-based address translation are not supported. In other words, Cloud VPN cannot connect to multiple peer VPN gateways that share a single external IP address.

When using one-to-one NAT, a peer VPN gateway must be configured to identify itself using an external IP address, not its internal (private) address. When you configure a Cloud VPN tunnel to connect to a peer VPN gateway, you specify an external IP address. Cloud VPN expects an on-premises VPN gateway to use its external IP address for its identity.

It's possible that this issue could be related to your on-premises router, but it's hard to say without any logs.

In addition, next time you can check if this issue on the Google's side at the Google Cloud Status Dashboard and file an issue report at the Google Issue Tracker.
