FREE_TIER_USER_NOT_ELIGIBLE (1002) despite US IP, US billing address, and personal Gmail

Google Antigravity

Describe the issue:

I’m unable to complete onboarding in Antigravity IDE. OAuth authentication succeeds, but the v1internal:loadCodeAssist / onboardUser request returns:

PERMISSION_DENIED (403)
Your account is not eligible for Gemini Code Assist for individuals at this time
reason: FREE_TIER_USER_NOT_ELIGIBLE
error_number: 1002
domain: cloudaicompanion.googleapis.com

Account info:

  • Personal Gmail account (not Workspace): sa*************@gmail.com
  • Google Pay billing country: United States
    System timezone: Pacific Standard Time (US)
  • System region/locale: United States, en-US
  • Public IP: Los Angeles, CA, USA (Vultr cloud hosting)

What I’ve tried:

  1. Re-authenticating multiple times (same error every time)
  2. Setting system timezone to Pacific Time and region to United States
  3. Confirming the Google Pay profile country is United States
  4. Using a US-based IP address (Los Angeles)

Request:

Could someone from the team please check why this account is being flagged as ineligible? The account appears to meet the documented criteria (personal Gmail, US billing address, US location), yet the onboarding service returns error 1002. This looks like a backend eligibility/entitlement issue rather than a user configuration problem.

Happy to provide additional diagnostic logs if needed.

Hi @sanwansui007,

Welcome to the Forum,

Could you please try the following steps to complete the account verification?

  • Open the standalone Antigravity 2.0 application (not the IDE).
  • Attempt to log in, and complete the account verification / QR code scan when prompted.
  • Once verified, return to your Antigravity IDE and try logging in again.

Let us know if this helps! (Note: If you still encounter issues after verifying, you might also try temporarily disconnecting from your Vultr hosting/VPN during the login process)
