Subject: AI Studio Build agent quota error while Gemini 3 chat works — Paid Tier 1
I have an active Paid Tier 1 Google Cloud project, linked to an active billing
account with a $250 billing-tier cap and available funds.
In Google AI Studio, normal Gemini 3 chat works correctly using my account.
However, AI Studio Build consistently returns:
“Quota exceeded. Please try again later.”
The failure occurs immediately when I enter a trivial Build request, such as:
“Create a simple web page with one heading that says Hello World.”
The app has not been previewed, run, or deployed. Therefore, no application-side
Make. com webhooks, Firebase/Firestore operations, hosting activity, or runtime Gemini
API calls are involved.
Tests and observations:
- Incognito/private browser test: same Build failure
- Normal Gemini 3 chat in AI Studio: works
- AI Studio billing status: Paid Tier 1
- Billing account: active; $250 tier cap; funds available
- Total API requests, input tokens, output tokens, and requests per model:
all below displayed limits - Project ID: [PROJECT_ID]
- Failure date/time/time zone: [DATE, TIME, EDT]
This suggests AI Studio Build/Code Assistant is not receiving the same paid
project/billing entitlement as normal Gemini chat, or a separate Build-agent quota
is incorrectly exhausted.
Please identify the precise quota metric, service, and consumer project used for
the failing Build-agent request and investigate/reset the Build-agent entitlement.
