I am developing a project in Firebase Studio. When I talk to Gemini AI, I get an AI error. I don’t know how to solve it? “ ![image](https://d3qe71uytubmmx.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/c/8c0f648646994530335eb4bb3a5c851bda2be802.png) Sorry, I hit a snag.

Hello, Welcome to the Forum! It seems that you have reached the maximum number of allowed tokens. I would recommend you to go through [Firebase documentation](https://firebase.google.com/docs), this will help you gain detailed information. ---

Your error is due to the total number of tokens that Gemini is trying to process in Firebase Studio exceeding the allowed limit (1,048,576 tokens). This can happen if your request is too long or if the app you’re developing includes a lot of files or embedded data. It’s not a bug, nor have you hit a daily limit or anything like that. It’s simply that your project (or what you’re sending to the model) is loading more than 1 million tokens, which goes beyond what Gemini can handle in a single request. The same thing happened to me: in my case, the website had many files (some encoded in base64) directly included in the project, which caused the token count to skyrocket. ✅ Quick fix: Try deleting unnecessary files or create a `.aiexclude` file in the root of the project to prevent Gemini from loading heavy folders like `node_modules/`, `.next/`, `dist/`, etc. ---

In my case, the application was reading many json files to visualize the data, the problem was solved when I deleted the big ones according to your answer. ---

I have the same problem right now. Since I don’t know much about programming, I don’t really know which files to delete, and I don’t want to mess up my project. Can anyone who is an expert tell me which files to delete to stop the “hits a snag” error? Thanks! I will attach an image of my explorer; please tell me which folders I should check. I will try to respond as soon as possible. ![Screenshot 2025-10-24 160647](https://d3qe71uytubmmx.cloudfront.net/original/3X/3/b/3bf4e94cb64b022f59974ff8c14b52183b60eda4.png) ---
