Gemini-3.1-flash-live-preview is not on the Free tier when the older 2.5 flash live native models are?

I feel like the new live model should also be on the free tier due to it being cheaper than the previous generation and it being newer instead of leaving 2 OLDER Live models on the free API Tier.

It is on the free tier. I have been using on the free tier.

Not for me, gives me a “Rate limit error: 1011 None. You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details.”

65k TPM limit. Maybe you’re hitting that?

Haven’t made a single request wont let me, first ever request got the quota error

Well apparently it works now for me, unsure of what changed but perfect!

I’m hitting this exact same issue too when using a free tier API Key! My tier 1 paid API key works with no issues.

“You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, …”

There is no search grounding quota on the free tier for the Gemini 3 series, remove the Google search tool from your live config and it should work
