Gemini API Errors

Are any of you experiencing 429 errors this morning? I’m seeing 35% of requests return quota errors (429), even though we haven’t made any code changes in production or experienced any spikes (yes, we have a paid api account; I also tested with 2 requests over 60 seconds).

This behavior is similar to the 503 errors we encountered a few weeks ago, which we resolved by implementing a backoff solution. The backoff worked well for over a week, but now this issue has surfaced.

Please let me know if you’re encountering similar errors.

Thanks,
Damian

Same here, I noticed the issue this morning. And never experienced it before. I can also easily reproduce by sending consecutive requests containing an image.

I’ve been having 503 errors, not 429 errors (although I have had weird 429 issues before)

Are you using context caching? Whenever this has happened to me it’s been when using caching
