below is the error i get in my firebase studio for my web app. i have tried using brand new api keys, with new projects as teir 1 - yet, i get instant error 429 instantly - i listed the error below. for more information:
I’m specifically using Gemini 3.0 pro and Gemini 3.0 flash pro.
i do have billing linked but i don’t want to screen shot any sensitive information.
it’s happening on brand new projects/keys, immediate exhaustion even on first request
i attached a screenshot of the rate usage. this specific key, i just barely used and im already maxed out for TPM. i’ve barely done anything.
— IF anything, can we just upgrade me to tier 2 or 3? i have a lot of work left to do with the api key and it will take months to meet the criteria if i keep getting quota exhausted every 5 minutes of a new day.
