Hi Google Cloud Code / Gemini Support Team,
I am writing to report a persistent 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED error when attempting to use the Gemini CLI (v0.35.3). I am a subscribed Google One AI Pro user.
The issue occurs immediately upon sending the first request after signing in. I have thoroughly isolated the issue by testing across:
-
Three different physical network environments: All three locations utilize Chunghwa Telecom (HiNet) FTTH optical fiber networks in Taiwan. Specifically, two are distinct corporate networks, and one is my dedicated home network. (Note: No other ISPs were tested).
-
Two different hardware devices
-
Two different Google accounts
In all scenarios, the request is immediately rejected. I managed to capture the full Debug Console log, which indicates that the server has no capacity available for the gemini-3.1-pro-preview model.
Here are the extracted technical details from the error log:
Error Summary:
-
Error Code: 429
-
Status: RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED
-
Reason: MODEL_CAPACITY_EXHAUSTED / rateLimitExceeded
-
Message: “No capacity available for model gemini-3.1-pro-preview on the server”
Request Details:
-
Timestamp: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 15:09:06 GMT

**Trace ID (`x-cloudaicompanion-
-
Endpoint:
[https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/v1internal:streamGenerateContent?alt=sse](https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/v1internal:streamGenerateContent?alt=sse) -
Client User-Agent:
GeminiCLI/0.35.3/gemini-3.1-pro-preview (win32; x64; terminal)
Could you please investigate if this is a known regional capacity constraint for the preview model, or if there is an IP-level routing/rate-limiting issue between Google’s edge and Chunghwa Telecom’s network? Furthermore, I would like to verify if my Google One AI Pro entitlement is prioritizing traffic correctly.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Thank you,
Ben Yang
