API returns 429 ResourceExhausted for Free Tier, but Cloud Console dashboard shows 0% quota usage

When making a call to genai.embed_content(), the script fails with a 429 ResourceExhausted error related to the free tier quota. However, the Google Cloud Console’s Quota Dashboard for the project associated with my API key shows *0% usage

The usage under the free tier shows as follows

I’ve tried with multiple API keys under different accounts and nothing works.

Error:

Hi Krish, i was working on a RAG application. It seems that when i upload my document and create the embeddings for it, my quota is not exhausted but when i am trying to generate an embedding for the query in order to match any embedding, i am facing :-
violations {
quota_metric: “generativelanguage.googleapis.com/embed_content_free_tier_requests”
quota_id: “EmbedContentRequestsPerDayPerUserPerProjectPerModel-FreeTier”
}
Is there anything in specific that i am doing wrong here? or what is the catch cause i am very new to this and i am not able to figure this out.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!
