Hi Google Gemini API Team,
I am integrating the Gemini API into an internal business application for extracting structured trip/booking information from screenshots.
My Google AI Studio project is on Tier 1 paid billing.
Project ID: sanjar-e-infosync
The AI Studio Rate Limit page shows that my usage is far below the available quota. For example, the dashboard shows approximately:
- RPM: 2 / 1K
- TPM: 1.65K / 2M
- RPD: 4 / 10K
However, API requests are consistently returning:
HTTP 429
RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED
I also tested a very small text-only generateContent request directly, without sending any screenshots or large payload, and it also returned:
429 Too Many Requests
This suggests the problem is not caused by the size of my application request.
The API key belongs to the same Google AI Studio / Google Cloud project, and paid billing has already been activated. AI Studio shows the project as Tier 1.
The model currently being tested is:
gemini-3.7-flash
Could you please advise why RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED is being returned when the displayed RPM, TPM and RPD quotas have not been exhausted?
Is there another project-level, model-level, billing activation, regional, or account quota that could be causing this 429?
I would also appreciate guidance on how to identify the specific quota responsible for the RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED response when the API response does not provide a quota violation or retry-after value.
Thank you.
With Regards
