So recently, I have always been encountering this every few requests. It’s so frequent that the service is basically useless.

Error: [GoogleGenerativeAI Error]: Error fetching from [https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-1.5-flash-002:generateContent:](https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-1.5-flash-002:generateContent:) [503 Service Unavailable] The model is overloaded. Please try again later.

Same goes for `gemini-1.5-flash-001` or anything Gemini flash.  
Does this happen with the paid tier too? It’s frustrating because I have a deadline to meet, and I cannot even test how well the code I have written works.

Currently happening to me with both Pro and Flash and we pay for it…

Hi @Joseph_Nwodo,

This is because so many requests are coming to the model. Team is aware and working on it. Temporarily try to switch to another model and see if it works. Or wait a bit and retry your request.
