Hi, I have a paid project tier 1 and can’t really use it because of Error 429…
Whenever I make request I keep Proxy Error 429 despite being paid tier 1 for about a week now.
**PROXY ERROR 429: {“error”:{“message”:“Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota).”,“code”:429,“type”:“aistudio_error”}}
**
Attached is the screenshot of my request error dashboard with very low limit (maybe 30 request) but still getting the 429 error more than 50% of my request

Thank you for your patience!
I am experiencing this exact same issue. i’m in paid tier 1 and am locked at 250 requests per day
How many RPMs? If it’s triggering a cooldown timer, then the timer is going to get refreshed with every subsequent request. Not saying it’s 100% the issue, but the way it looks on the graph, it’s peaking on one day. Or maybe you have a rate limit set for a certain allowance per day? Keep us posted.

Hello! I’m having a similar problem: I can’t use the service because of a 429 error that keeps popping up. I’m on Tier 1 and completely under the limits. I don’t understand which limit I’ve reached.
You’ve solved the problem in this thread; could you help me too?
it’s been few days in a row now that this is happeneing, works for half a day, then doesn’t work the other half of the day
Hi @UES_Cardiology, @user1925 and @Dzafer_Kulenovic,
Please let me know if you are still facing this issue?
Please provide the following details:
Complete Error Message: The full JSON response.
Billing Tier: (e.g., Free, paid etc.
Model Name & Region: (e.g., gemini-2.5-pro in europe-west1 etc).
Platform: (AI Studio, Vertex AI SDK, or REST ).
Task Description: Briefly, what are you using the API for? (e.g., "summarizing large PDFs"etc).
Provide the project number (not the project ID) via direct message
We are getting the same problem. 429 error but under limit in Tier 1 paid.
{
“type”: “error”,
“error_type”: “ResourceExhausted”,
“message”: “429 Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota).”,
“timestamp”: “2026-01-12T16:30:40.131985”
}
Maybe you can try to generate a new key - which forces the system to re-evaluate your Tier 1 status.
