Account restricted to AQ. tokens — requesting AIza key

Hello Google AI Support,

My account can only generate API keys with the AQ. prefix in Google AI Studio
and Google Cloud Console. These AQ. keys return 401 UNAUTHENTICATED on
generativelanguage.googleapis.com endpoints.

I have a Google AI Pro subscription and a legitimate use case (small
business automation for my hotel). I’d like to request restoration of
standard AIza-format API key generation for my account.

Account email: ta....@gmail.com
Affected project: Pandora (project number visible from Cloud Console)

I’ll keep future keys private (server-side only, restricted to
Generative Language API).

Thank you.

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!
