Failed to call the Gemini API: user has exceeded quota. Please try again later

I can not go on working with the app

Hey! The most common reason you would get this as a new user is you are trying to access a model which can only be accessed via a paid account (example: Gemini 3 Pro). We are working to make the error message more clear, but in the meantime, you can upgrade to a paid account through AI Studio: https://aistudio.google.com/api-keys

Currently I can see tier1 quota linked with my project, but still report the same error.

Also, before I was using free tier, if I exceeded the quota, will it replenish the next day? or monthly?

Thank you.

Hey Team, i am having the same error.

I’ve built an app which is working really nicely, and now 98% of the time i’ll hit generate it stalls out and says the following.

Failed to call the Gemini API: user has exceeded quota. Please try again later.

In the lower menu i have some info as follows.
Warning “Rate limit hit. Retrying in 16160ms… (Attempts left: 1)” Error “Gemini API Error:” “{\“error\”:{\“code\”:429,\“message\”:\“You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, head to: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits. To monitor your current usage, head to: https://ai.dev/rate-limit. \”,\“status\”:\“RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED\”}}”

If i head to the rate-limits website page as mentioned above. my usage looks like it’s not doing anything?

I’ve tried all other Gemini Models under advanced settings too i still run into the same issue.

Any pointers on what i can do? I have a google workspace business plan so i think something is incluced in terms of usage. i’ve never had this issue in the past, just as i was updating some features last night this issue began happening.

Regards Stefan

No, that’s not the issue. I’m on paid plan, and used different API-s and the errors still happen. It’s very very very annoying as I’ve lost too many hours trying to fix some bugs on my just launched app. Really dissapointed.

Have the same problem …
