Does Gemini API Free tier have a shared quota across models?

Gemini API

I have a question: A project uses the Gemini API Free tier. Service Usage reports model-specific request and input-token quotas. The general project-wide API/generation rate limits report unlimited.

Could a Google team member confirm:

Is there any additional daily or monthly consumption allowance shared across all free models?

If one model reaches its quota, can another distinct model continue using its own remaining quota?

Which model IDs or aliases share quota buckets?

The developer API is meant, not the consumer Gemini app.

Hello @Nine_Five ,

As outlined in the Gemini API Rate Limits documentation and the Gemini Developer API Pricing guide.The Gemini API free tier rate limits and daily quotas (RPM, TPM, and RPD) are enforced independently on a per-model basis rather than shared across different models.
