I have been ai studio for months now, the old sessions can attach very larger tokens as files but new sessions are complaining even at 12 k. Most strangely I managed to attach 12k and then tried to attach just over 11k and it is complaining that I should reduce the token size. Is there a new role out or something? As a matter of face my previous session seems dead in the water with token counts, but I can use much older session.
Hi @Kevin_Ehsani,
Welcome to the Forum,
Thank you for reporting. I was unable to reproduce it on my end when attempting to attach a PDF file exceeding 100K tokens. To assist with our investigation, please provide the file type, the precise size of the failed file and steps to reproduce the issue.
Hi @Kevin_Ehsani,
Thanks for the screenshot! I see the error. You’re using the Nano Banana model, which has a 32,768 token usage limit. Your current prompt, including voice_manager.py is 50,568 tokens, exceeding the limit and causing the Token count for the prompt has been exceeded. Reduce your prompt size to run message.
If a similar prompt worked before, it was either shorter or used a different model with a higher token usage limit.
To fix this, either shorten your current prompt to under 32,768 tokens or switch to a model with a larger token usage.
You are so right. I guess a new session uses nano banana not gemini 2.5 as in the past, something to pay attention to, I just took it for granted it is business as usual. Thanks a lot, goofy error on my part.
Hi @Kevin_Ehsani,
When you start a new session, you are indeed getting Nano Banana by default currently. If you want a different model (like Gemini 2.5 Pro, for example), you would then use the model selector on the right-hand side to change it.
Thank you!
