Since around 11 AM yesterday (17 June 2025), my Google account cannot access Google AI Studio. Visiting https://aistudio.google.com/ leads to a split second of the AI Studio interface with the message “Failed to list models. Please try again later” or “Permission denied” before immediately redirecting to Available regions for Google AI Studio and Gemini API | Google AI for Developers.
The account is located in the United Kingdom (a supported region) and is over 18. AI Studio had previously worked everyday until yesterday. My last successful access of the website was around 2AM, 17 June 2025, after which I turned off my PC.
Steps to reproduce:
- Signing in to my google account
- Visiting Google AI Studio using the aforementioned link or google search.
- The AI Studio Interface appears for split second with the message “Failed to list models. Please try again later”
- The page is then immediately redirected to the available regions page.
Attempted steps to resolve issue:
- Ensured no connection to VPN, and ensured that my IP address is shown as UK.
- Signing out of my account and signing back in.
- Attempted to access AI studio in Private mode of Firefox
- Attempted to access AI studio in a separate browser where I have never signed in to my google account in (Microsoft Edge).
- Attempted to access AI studio from a different device (smart phone).
- Connecting a VPN to the US and attempting to access AI Studio.
Important notes:
- I have tried to access AI studio through another google account, and did not encounter any issues. I am led to believe the issue is specifically with my main account.
- Both accounts are located in the UK and are over 18. Neither account has billing enabled.
