Getting 429 Errors - But Usage Charts Show no Traffic

Gemini API
82

HI @Jamie123234 , Gemini API limits are applied to the API, not the version of the model. Then if you reach the limit using the 1.5 model it will affect the 2.0 model too.

@Vishal: I am a Tier 1 (Paid) Customer critically blocked by the 429 (Resource Exhausted) error and all support channels are failing. I cannot find the “Message” button for direct contact.

I urgently need manual intervention.

My Project ID is: imperial-medium-

Using: Developer API.

Please advise on the best way to send you the details immediately.

Hi Vishal, also getting this error using gemini APi, first was getting it on Flash 3, switch to Flash 2.5 and started getting it there as well.

Same thing. Periodically, I get phantom 429 errors. One day it’s all good, one day every request returns 429 but other services in same project is good and usage is fair below quotas

Hello everyone,

Try this method, but if still face 429 errors without exhausting the rate limits, please provide the following details -

  • Complete Error Message
  • Billing Tier: (e.g., Free, paid etc.)
  • Model Name & Region:** (e.g., gemini-2.5-pro in europe-west1 etc).
  • Platform:(AI Studio, Vertex AI SDK, or REST ).
  • Provide the project number (not the project ID) via direct message
