Subject: [Quota Issue] Persistent 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED error with veo-3.0-generate-preview in africa-south1

Hello,

I’m a developer trying to use the new veo-3.0-generate-preview model through the google-generativeai Python library.

Problem:
I am consistently getting a 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED error when calling the client.models.generate_videos method.

My Setup:

  • Project Region: My Google Cloud project is configured for the africa-south1 region.
  • Quotas: The Quotas page in my console shows very high limits (e.g., 10,000 requests/minute) for the Batch embed contents quota.
  • What I’ve tried: I have waited for more than an hour, but the error persists.

The issue is that the error seems to contradict my region’s quota settings. It appears there may be a hidden or different quota for this specific preview model that is not listed in the console.

Code Snippet that causes the error:

Questions:

  1. Does the veo-3.0-generate-preview model have a separate, unlisted quota that is independent of the general API limits?
  2. Is this a known issue for this preview model, or is there a way to request a quota increase for it?

Thank you for any help or insights you can provide. :thinking:

@CreateVeo3API,

Are you on a paid tier for gemini? if so which tier ? ,

Video generation with Veo in AI Studio has limited free quota. may be you might have past that quota. can you give us the entire error message ? that might have further debug info on which specific quota has been crossed.

I don’t know yet, I went to vertex ai in google cloud console and it tells me that I have exceeded my quotas and I know it but they should regenerate because I think I have daily quotas. I tried my quotas and after 2 days they regenerated. I waited 2 days and still not. I still can’t pass you the error. I’m trying to contact. I’ll see if I can pass you the complete error. My complete error should be there in my post. Look good. :frowning:
