I see this topic has come up many times. I have been using the gemini file search for several days without issue. I had completed the process of uploading 11 of the 12 - 100k text/csv files to the store and it failed on the 12th file. I have tried for the last 4 days to manually upload this single file into the store and have received the 503 error consistently. I don’t see any limits that I have hit and don’t, I’ve attempted to change the mime type, and other work arounds, but not luck. Can someone please help me with this issue? I’m using Paid tier 1.
