Hi, I have enrolled the pay-as-you-go and I believe that now Gemini 1.5-pro and 1.5-flash can both be billed for the pay-as-you-go billing.
This problem only happens to Gemini 1.5-pro API. I’ve been really careful with the request frequency and I am pretty sure that I have not been beyond the quota (around only 1000 requests), and then I would encounter 429 Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota).
Unfortunately no. The only error message is “429 Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota)”.
I also checked the quota usage in the page you referred. What is more confusing is that not a single source has any quota usage. Also, for some quota usage we are interested in, say “Request limit per model per day for a project (default)”, there is no usage bar to indicate anything. Like the following:
For some reason now I don’t have the error anymore. The only thing I did was to request the quota increase but I never received any email or message about request approval.
Given my experience, first I would apply for a quote increase, second I would keep using it. The quota is gradually increasing automatically given the amount and time you’ve been using the API.
