Android Studio Gemini usage almost useless due to 'resource exhausted' errors

Gemini API
1

I’ve posted in other 429 threads, but will post specifically about how I’m really just trying to use Google AI in a Google IDE linked to a Google workspace and yet… I get periods of feeling massively productive, and then am utterly stuck because of these errors which stop all work with AI.

I’ve been working for a few hours this morning, using the Agent in Android Studio to help me with an Android app. All going well.

Then, just then, as has been happening Every. Single. Day. since I signed up for the paid tier of Gemini Code assist, the thing has stopped answering.

The server encountered a resource exhausted error. This is likely due to the number of requests issued reaching your quota.

If I look at the idea logs then it’s got this in it:

com.google.api.client.googleapis.json.GoogleJsonResponseException: 429 Too Many Requests
POST https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/v1internal:streamGenerateChat
{
  "code": 0,
  "error": {
    "code": 429,
    "message": "You have exhausted your capacity on this model. Your quota will reset after 10h23m44s.",
    "errors": [
      {
        "message": "You have exhausted your capacity on this model. Your quota will reset after 10h23m44s.",
        "domain": "global",
        "reason": "rateLimitExceeded"
      }
    ],
    "status": "RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED",
    "details": [
      {
        "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.ErrorInfo",
        "reason": "QUOTA_EXHAUSTED",
        "domain": "cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com",
        "metadata": {
          "quotaResetTimeStamp": "2026-03-25T09:36:51Z",
          "uiMessage": "true",
          "model": "gemini-2.5-pro",
          "quotaResetDelay": "10h23m44.824047459s"
        }
      },
      {
        "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.RetryInfo",
        "retryDelay": "37424.824047459s"
      }
    ]
  }
}

But I really haven’t been using it that heavily, just asking it to help fix issues and add items to the app.

And if I look at my Rate limits… there’s nothing!

How is this so broken? How are so many people having this issue, and yet Google gives zero way to solve this.

Many threads here, no solutions.

No ability to get support on this, because I’m not paying for support specifically to ask a question about a product that I’m paying for. That’s not how things should work.

We’re a company using Google Workspace, we’re developing these Android apps, using Gemini to help with that should be a no-brainer… but I feel like I want to use Claude or another agent instead, because this is really not working.

I did a search in our quotas and found one being used, because I just hard set the IDE to use Gemini 2.5 Flash:

This still is nowhere near being exhausted, and is a per minute limit, so surely should go up and down quickly anyway.

But also, why is this not visible on the https://aistudio.google.com/rate-limit page?

This is such a black box, and is failing on very light usage as far as I’m concerned. One dev (me), using Android Studio as intended with AI, with a paid tier account, and it’s constantly hitting limits I can’t see.

Maddening.

Just for more context. My usage is not high. (At least I don’t think so?) Charts for last 6 hours:

Hi @Simon_O_Connor

Would it be possible to for your share your project ID via DM with me ? This would help me better understand your usage
