Hi, I’m hitting a persistent billing/quota issue that looks like the known
billing-sync bug — could a moderator trigger a manual billing sync for my project?
Symptom
Every Gemini API request fails immediately with:
429 … “Your prepayment credits are depleted. Please go to AI Studio …
gemini-api/docs/billing#prepay.” (status: RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED)
gemini-cli retries 10x with backoff, all 429, then fails.
Why this looks like a stale-billing-state bug
My Cloud Billing account for this project is on Postpay / pay-as-you-go, is
funded (positive credit balance, no outstanding amount, ~EUR 100 headroom before
the billing threshold), and shows a successful manual payment. There is no actual
prepay balance that should be checked or depleted — yet the API keeps returning
the prepay-depleted error. This matches other reports of a stale billing state
after a Prepay/Postpay transition.
Details
- Project ID: zweites-gehirn-4977..
- Billing account ID: 01B884-14BBE1-DD0E..
- Region: Germany (EUR billing)
- Manual EUR 10 payment landed on July 5; error persists for several hours across
many requests, independent of model (tested gemini-2.5-flash).
Request
Please trigger a manual billing sync / re-evaluation for this project so the API
recognizes the funded Postpay account. Happy to provide more details via DM.
