AI Studio works with free quota but not with API key

The last 3 days i was able to easily work on my apps/projects in ai studio with the free quota. But everytime i switch to the paid API key nothing works. No matter in which project (new or old) i’m getting “a error occured” messages.

I’ve checked if everything is connected with the billing account = Yes it is. I’m still getting charged for every prompt i make before i receive the error messages.

I’ve tried re-logging, incognito tab, clearing caches, restarting everything, using different models. But normal chatting is possible. I’m also logged only in one google account eveywhere. Its the same.

I have no clue what to do.

Having the same issue, hope this is fixed soon… maybe Google could give unlimited free requests until fixed.

They developed this platform using ai lol

I am currently using Nano Banana, and it is stuck in a constant generation loop.

Same problem with free quota supposedly exceeded for 3 days due to their bug. Not to mention the endless loading.

Update for myself: Funnily it worked 10 hours ago for me without free qouta and a paid API key until the new free qouta was full and switched to paid API Key xD Now its not working again.. do they have a delay in their system or whats happening here? I mean if u only have 2 hours possible of access to the paid key, why should people pay for this?

I am also facing same issues. The prompt works well with free tier, but when I change it to Paid Tier 1 after the free tier stops working even with less than 10% of usage over the limit. Need a quick solution to this.
