I encountered the following error when using a Gemini 3.5 Flash model on LobHub: {

“code”: 403,

“status”: “PERMISSION_DENIED”,

“message”: “Your project has been denied access. Please contact support.”,

“provider”: “google”}

I am an individual developer; this is my project information.：

Project Name: projects/10148727569..
Project Number: 1014872756…
Project ID: api11-5032..

Hi,
Getting a 403 API error response and / or seeing “Unavailable” next to your project in AI audio or Gemini API indicates a flag has been placed on your account. To proceed:

  1. Check for banners / error callouts in the AI Studio Projects page & the Billing page. Mostly these flags cause visible banners or other errors on these pages with concrete next steps / appeal links.

  2. If you’re on the free tier with no billing attached, you should consider setting up billing. In most cases this is enough to clear any flag on your account. Please note this will mean you lose your free tier quota.
