Hi everyone,
I am experiencing an issue when trying to create a project and generate an API key in Google AI Studio.
In my Google Cloud Billing console, I can clearly see that I have two active credits (as I have subscribed the Google AI Pro plan):
-
$300.00 GCP Free Credit (100% remaining)
-
$10.00 Google Developer Program premium benefit - CREDIT_TYPE_MONTHLY (100% remaining)
However, when I try to set up my project for AI Studio, my Billing Tier status (Tier 1 - Prepay) shows “Action needed: No available credits.” Because of this, I am unable to use my credits for the Gemini API.
I have two questions:
-
How can I resolve this “No available credits” error so I can use my existing $10 monthly credit for AI Studio? Does it have to do with the “Prepay” account type?
-
What is the exact difference in usage between the $10 Developer Program credit and the $300 GCP Free Credit? Can both be used for the Gemini API?
I have attached screenshots of my billing credits and the error message for reference. Any guidance on how to properly link these credits to my AI Studio project would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
