Hey,
Google released few weeks ago and solution for the 503 issue, where if you pay twice the price they will put you in a fast lane and at peak times you should have access to the service
We allowed for priority as 503 is a big problem for us, but it just doesn’t work.
It has never resolved the 503 issues and the api is set up properly
Git issue here:
opened 05:02PM - 15 May 26 UTC
type: bug
priority: p2
### Hey,
Gemini has `Priority inference` - https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs… /priority-inference#how-to-use
And we recently allowed for `priority` for all of our AI uses
Sadly I cant get it to preform, we still get:
```
503 UNAVAILABLE. {'error': {'code': 503, 'message': 'This model is currently experiencing high demand. Spikes in demand are usually temporary. Please try again later.', 'status': 'UNAVAILABLE'}}
```
The service_tier flag is set and the response acknowledges the setting - we are running `Tier 2` on the API key:
> Priority inference is available to [Tier 2 & Tier 3](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/billing#about-billing) users across the GenerateContent API and Interactions API endpoints.
And still nothing,
I know that its not 100% grantee to give a response at peak-times but for the few weeks its out its completely useless and never helps avoid the 503 or speed response times like they promise
Am I possibly missing something?
did anyone else use this and actually get something out of it?

Thanks!
Google should separate the API pay method and subscription plan hardware pool. API pay much more and need uninterrupted work flow.
