403 PERMISSION_DENIED – StudyQuest project restricted – Request for manual review

Subject: Request for Manual Review – Gemini API Project Restricted

Hello Google Gemini API Team,

My Google AI Studio project is currently shown as Restricted, and Firebase AI Logic requests return:

403 PERMISSION_DENIED
Your project has been denied access. Please contact support.

Project name: StudyQuest
Project ID: studyquest-fb520

I have already completed the recommended account checks:

  • Correct date of birth / age information
  • Phone number verification
  • 2-Step Verification enabled
  • Gemini Developer API enabled
  • Firebase AI Logic enabled

The request successfully reaches Firebase AI Logic, but Gemini rejects it at the project-access level.

This project is an educational application for low-volume student development and testing. I would like to use the Gemini API Free Tier if eligible.

Please manually review the project/account restriction and restore access if the restriction was applied in error.

Thank you.
