Gemma 3 27b rate limits

Gemini API
, ,
1

while using gemma-3 27b model via API on a free account, the request fails on the 1st call itself.

google.genai.errors.ClientError: 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED. {‘error’: {‘code’: 429, ‘message’: ‘Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota).’, ‘status’: ‘RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED’}}

I have been trying with gemini which works perfectly well - but gemma keeps on giving this error message.

Can someone please help?

Hi @Devansh1, Welcome to forum!!

Here is the doc for rate limits. You might be sending too many requests per minute with the free tier Gemini API.

Hi @Govind_Keshari ,
Thanks for your prompt response.
I was considering only the requests per minute factor but I just calculated - my tokens per minute were also greater than allowed in free tier.

Thanks again :slight_smile:

Hi @Govind_Keshari ,
Was just testing out the model again after upgrading to Tier1 by linking my account - yet the same issue is happening.
My input to model is about 20000 tokens.

I went through the doc but in Tier-1, no rate limits are mentioned for Gemma - can you please help for the same?

Hey @Devansh1,

I will get back to you on this. My hunch is Gemma 3 doesn’t come under billing that’s why no rate limit mentioned.

Hey @Govind_Keshari ,
I was wanting to test a use case which requires a higher number of input tokens. Hence, awaiting your reply on this.

Hey @Devansh1,

Gemma is free of cost, even if you use paid tier the rate limit, context window will remain same with API. It’s open source model. It is in AI Studio just to test it’s capability.

Ohh okay,
Thanks @Govind_Keshari for your help :slight_smile:
