Apologize for the length - but wanted to give details:
Has anyone had success getting legit reviews that are deleted restored?

**Main Question - Is this even worth spending time on - or just gotta keep getting more reviews to make up the difference?

-----
Tried submitting here (with screenshots from Local Viking of the actual review (didn’t have the Google review screenshot) - https://support.google.com/business/gethelp?sjid=11155655529161732498-NC (just got a generic response which was basically our internal tools don’t show those reviews never existed or they don’t have record of it) - first we sent as screenshots in message - then we tried adding screenshots to drive folder (to see if that made any difference)
Also tried submitting to the GBP forum/community and also got basically a generic response
-----
The first test we did was for our agency - these are the reviews if you want to see what they say (prove legit - 1 is iffy maybe?)

These could have been deleted a while back (and probably were) - honestly didn’t start looking at this/paying attention until all the recent delete issues started happening.

Is there a time limit after they’re deleted to submit to have a chance to get them restored?

Do you need screenshot of review from actual Google reviews (or tools like Local Viking show the reviews - would that work?) - or is an API export of the reviews from WS or LV would that work?
 
The best way to get them reinstated is to ask your clients to edit the reviews until they are live.
These reviews are old, and data show that consumers discount reviews older than 3 months, so updating them will work in your favor.
I don't know how it will look for a consumer to see six reviews edited at the same time, as there aren't any case studies on it.
