AI Pro subscription recognized in Android Studio, but Gemini Pro model cannot be used at all

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue where my Google AI Pro subscription appears active in Android Studio, but I cannot use the Pro model at all (chat, Agent mode — same result).

Environment

  • Google account: r…@gmail.com
  • Android Studio version: [Android Studio Quail 1 | 2026.1.1 Patch 2]
  • OS: Windows 10/11
  • Subscription: Google AI Pro (shown as active in Plan & Quotas)

What I see in Settings

In Settings → Tools → AI → Gemini → Plan & Quotas:

  • Current plan: AI Pro :white_check_mark:
  • Gemini Ai Pro: 0% used, 100% remaining (resets in ~23 hours)
  • Gemini Ai Flash Preview: ~3% used, 96% remaining

So the subscription and quota UI look correct.

The problem

Despite the above, I cannot use Pro in practice:

  • Pro model is missing from the model dropdown
  • Pro model is grayed out / not selectable
  • Selecting Pro fails immediately with an error

What I’ve tried

  1. Verified I’m logged in with the same account as my AI Pro subscription
  2. Checked Manage Models → Gemini tab — shows Current plan: AI Pro
  3. Removed any API key under Manage Models → Google AI Studio tab (to avoid free-tier key override)
  4. Restarted Android Studio and clicked Refresh on Plan & Quotas
  5. Started a new chat instead of continuing an old conversation

Questions

  1. Is Gemini 1.5 Pro still supported in Android Studio? The quota page still lists it, but I’ve read it may have been shut down — should AI Pro users be routed to Gemini 3.x Pro instead?
  2. Is there a known issue where Plan & Quotas shows available Pro quota but requests still fail or Pro is unavailable?
  3. Do I need to manually claim Google Developer Program Premium for Pro models to work in Android Studio, even when AI Pro is already shown in the IDE?
  4. Is Android Studio Otter (or a specific minimum version) required for Google One AI Pro integration?

Any help or official guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

I feel this is happening to me too, came back from vacations, updated android studio and it’s giving me a cuota error on the first prompt literally, so i feel the ai pro subscription isn’t even being detected correctly althought it appears like it is.

I am hitting the same issue. This is a known bug that we could work around it by Refreshing in the Settings or signing out and back in to our Google account.
Not sure what’s going on there. The above won’t cut it anymore!

Same here. Spent hour trying to find all possible causes and reset options. Made new Google AI Cloud project with new API key. Checked all aspects of AI Pro acct. Still in Android Studio it is stuck with G 3 Flash Preview and option for Planning/.. is gone. Coincidentally, today Google’s HealthService server is down so app I am making for Tennis based sync WearOS to phone is down as well.
