Billing Account upgraded to Tier 2, but AI Studio projects are stuck on Tier 1

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing a persistent syncing issue with my API billing tiers.

My billing account (Account Name: ark) shows that it has successfully reached Tier 2. However, when I go to Google AI Studio, all my current projects are still displaying as Tier 1 (Pay-as-you-go) on the API keys page.

Here is what I have observed and tried so far:

  • I have waited for 10 days since my account hit the Tier 2 requirements, but the status hasn’t updated at all.

  • I tried creating a brand new project to see if it would force a sync, but the new project still defaults to Tier 1.

  • I have attached screenshots showing the clear discrepancy between the Billing page and the AI Studio page.

Since it’s been over a week, it seems like my account sync is completely stuck. Could someone from the support team please help me look into this and manually trigger a sync so my projects can finally utilize the Tier 2 rate limits?

Thank you in advance for your help!
