I wanted to make some **modifications** to my Firebase Studio project, but **every time** I submit a **prompt** , it returns a **constant** ‘Sorry, I hit a snag.’ error. This happens regardless of the prompt content (even on standard code analysis or minimal modification like font colour change or debugging queries). ![image](https://d3qe71uytubmmx.cloudfront.net/original/3X/0/a/0a440717147b0375f3fe84d011184e690145de72.png) here is the exact error: Sorry, I hit a snag. Please try again shortly or modify your prompt.

Learn more: [Generate content with the Gemini API in Vertex AI  |  Generative AI on Vertex AI  |  Google Cloud Documentation](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/model-reference/gemini) **Context & What I’ve Tried:** - This happens on absolutely any prompt I enter (even simple text modifications), so it doesn’t seem to be a content or safety block. - I’ve tried giving prompt after 24+ hours , but still the same error - I have tried refreshing the page, but the error persists. - There is no visible option in my UI to toggle “Thinking” or “Reasoning” configurations to fix this configuration mismatch. How do I solve it?? ---

Has anyone else run into this issue in Firebase Studio? [GoogleGenerativeAI Error]: Error fetching from [https://monospace-pa.googleapis.com/v1/models/gemini-3-flash-preview:streamGenerateContent?alt=sse:](https://monospace-pa.googleapis.com/v1/models/gemini-3-flash-preview:streamGenerateContent?alt=sse:) [400 Bad Request] Unable to submit request because Thinking\_config.include\_thoughts is only enabled when thinking is enabled.. Learn more: [Generate content with the Gemini API in Vertex AI  |  Generative AI on Vertex AI  |  Google Cloud Documentation](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/model-reference/gemini) A few observations from my testing: - Started appearing suddenly without code changes. - Occurs across multiple Firebase Studio workspaces. - Searching the codebase shows no explicit `includeThoughts` configuration. - Refreshing/reopening workspaces did not resolve it. - The error appears to originate from the Firebase Studio AI Assistant request layer. I contacted Firebase Support and received the following response: > “We were able to reproduce the issue and are actively working to resolve it.” So it appears to be a known issue that Firebase has acknowledged. I’m posting this in case others encounter the same error. Has anyone found a temporary workaround while waiting for the official fix? ---

Hello, I’ve had the same problem since Saturday night. It’s happened to me before; last time I managed to fix it by changing the IDX model. This time it’s different. I also tried creating an .aiexclude file, but nothing worked… I’m still looking for a solution. ---

```auto ``` I’m having the exact same problem as @M888; it stopped working on Saturday. I had attributed it to a token overrun, but that wasn’t the case. We hope for a timely resolution. We’re still waiting. ---

Until this issue is resolved, you can temporarily use Gemini support as follows: 1. Switch to ‘Code mode’. 2. Click the [+] icon at the top and create a “New chat”. 3. Set the chat type to “Agent (Auto run)”. Now you can provide the relevant instructions. ---

The issue appears to be resolved and the system is working normally again without needing any workarounds. Thanks everyone!
