Hi,
I’m experiencing an issue where my Google account can no longer generate standard AIza prefix API keys in Google AI Studio or Google Cloud Console. All newly created keys — across all my projects — only generate AQ. prefix keys.
The AQ. keys do not work with third-party integrations that require the standard AIza format (specifically OpenClaw, which uses the google-generative-ai transport).
I did not have any key leaks or security incidents that I’m aware of. I have tried:
- Creating new keys in AI Studio
- Creating new keys in Google Cloud Console
- Creating new projects and generating keys there
All result in AQ. prefix keys only.
Could you please advise on how to restore AIza key generation for my account, or confirm whether this is a permanent restriction?
Thank you
