Are Gemini 2.5 Pro and 2.5 Flash now paid models in Google AI Studio?

Okay, I think my previous topic has been deleted. I’ll ask the question again.

Hello, Google! I noticed that you have made access to Gemini 2.5 Pro and 2.5 Flash paid. If this is done intentionally, can you explain for what purpose?

They’ve been removed from the free tier on AI Studio to save resources. They’re still available on the Gemini API free tier.

Well…

I can use the API free tier to vibe code usign 2.5 Pro anyways.
