zypper lr is empty except for nvidia driver repository.
Both PAYG instances are affected.
Is there a way to repair the instances or is a new install recommended?

Assuming this is a recently-provisioned instance, I’m curious if we can check something to verify the registration status of your PAYG instance: can you please take a look at /var/log/cloudregister to see if there are any errors present, and if so reply with those? Also we can also do some quick testing on our end if you can provide 1) the specific SLES 12 image you are provisioning from, and 2) the region you are provisioning in. Thanks.

…also, you are using an image of a supported SLES 12 service pack release, correct? https://www.suse.com/lifecycle

But still no repositories.

Just to be sure: SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP3 General Ends 30 Jun 2019
does this mean there are no updates/patches available after that date or that there are no repositories available any longer?

ok i believe your issue with accessing repositories has to do with the version of cloud-regionsrv-client you are running in your SLES 12 instances. Please see the following:
