Hello! Question for anyone that works at Google if I have hit my 3 applications per 90 days can I still apply to an additional role through a referral link? Or will I have to wait until the 90 days is up? Actually asking for a friend that doesn’t have this app 😊 thanks in advance for any insight.
It’s October 3rd.

I wouldn't do it. Abide by the chain of command. You need your manager to be willing to go to bat for you to get the raise. Going around them is not going to incline them to do it.
You should remind your boss of the conversation and ask where things stand. It's possible he didn't approach HR and saying that to you was just a way of brushing it aside. Going over his head and asking HR about it will probably cause problems you don't need, so just ask him again and proceed from there.
I’d follow up politely after a week or two. Something short like, “Just wanted to check if there’s any update on our earlier conversation” can nudge things forward.

I would definitely follow up with your manager to see what they say. Since it’s been awhile since you reached out to your manager.. they probably forgot about your request and thought you weren’t interested anymore. I wouldn’t reach to HR just yet

Totally get wanting to be patient, but three weeks is long enough to check in. I’d probably follow up with your manager first before going to HR directly, just a casual nudge to see if there’s any update.
