API Key restricted

Gemini API
1

Hello AI Studio Team,

I recently noticed that my account has been restricted, and I am currently only able to generate “AQ” prefixed API keys with a quota limit of zero across all projects.

I understand this restriction may have been triggered by an accidental exposure of a previous “AIza” API key during testing. Since then, I have taken corrective actions, including securing my environment and removing the compromised key.

I am currently working on a personal automation project and would greatly appreciate it if you could review my account and restore my ability to generate standard “AIza” API keys.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your support.

Best regards,

We are moving away from Traffic keys (Alza) and towards a more secure Authentication Key (AQ). AI Studio will now only generate Authentication Key (AQ) keys. More information on key usage can be found in the Using Gemini API keys documentation.

Please submit any compatibility issues with services / SDKs etc. in this form for our engineering team to review. Thanks!
