Account restricted to AQ. tokens after accidental key exposure - Requesting AIza key restoration

Gemini API
,
1

Hello AI Studio Team,

My account was restricted, and I am now only able to generate “AQ.” prefix API keys with a quota limit of 0 across all my projects. I believe this happened because my previous standard “AIza” key was accidentally exposed during my script testing.

I have already secured my environment and deleted the compromised keys. I am building a personal automated project and urgently need the standard “AIza” keys to continue my development.

Could you please review my account and restore my ability to generate standard AIza API keys?

Thank you for your time and help!

We are moving away from Traffic keys (Alza) and towards a more secure Authentication Key (AQ). AI Studio will now only generate Authentication Key (AQ) keys. More information on key usage can be found in the Using Gemini API keys documentation.

Please submit any compatibility issues with services / SDKs etc. in this form for our engineering team to review. Thanks!
