I have been using gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25 to do api tasks and i want to see live the cost so i can stop it if its too much. But i dont see any change in cloud biling page. is there easier way to do this like openai api dashboard?

Hi @Israel_Abebe
Welcome to the community!
You have to enable Cloud Billing to monitor your usage. Below are the steps:

  1. Open Google AI Studio.
  2. In the bottom of the left sidebar, select Settings > Plan information.
  3. Click Set up Billing for your chosen project to enable Cloud Billing.

After you enable Cloud Billing, you can monitor your usage of the Gemini API in the Google Cloud console.
