Hello,

Today I noticed that Free Tier access to Google Gemini APIs, specifically **Gemini 2.5 Pro** , has suddenly been disabled for my account, and the list of models no longer appears on the [Rate Limits page](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

I’m wondering if this is happening for all users or only some accounts. Has Google officially removed or limited Free Tier access to **Gemini 2.5 Pro**?

Also, is this change temporary due to server capacity, or is it a permanent policy update? Any clarification or official information would be very helpful.

Thank you

Hi @khalil_khko , Welcome to forum!!!

The official [documentation](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing#gemini-2.5-pro) indicates that Free Tier access to Gemini 2.5 Pro is not available, which is why it does not appear in the list of models on the Rate Limits page. This update applies to all users and does not appear to be temporary. Thanks.
