I keep getting this error :

received 1011 (internal error) You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, head to: h; then sent 1011 (internal error) You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details.

I’m using the gemini model : gemini-2.5-flash-preview-native-audio-dialog
this is the exact line of code that throws the error:

async with client.aio.live.connect(model=model_id,
config=config) as session:

here are how client, model_id, and config are defined :

    client = genai.Client(api_key=<api_key>,
                          http_options={"api_version": "v1beta"})

    model_id = "gemini-2.5-flash-preview-native-audio-dialog"

    config = types.LiveConnectConfig(
        response_modalities=[types.Modality.AUDIO],
        speech_config=types.SpeechConfig(
            voice_config=types.VoiceConfig(
                prebuilt_voice_config=types.PrebuiltVoiceConfig(
                    voice_name="Sadaltager"
                )
            ),
            
        ),
        system_instruction=<system_prompt>
    )

however, when I go to my google cloud console, on the top left where the navigation menu is (the three horizontal bars) I click that and go to → IAM & Admin → quotas and System limits

where it states that my limit/quota is 7000 and current usage is 13 and the usage is <1%.

does anyone know if I have to do something to fix this? do I have to change something on my google cloud account? or it is some bug in google’s api? I am currently using google-genai 1.19.0 python's SDK

Hi @airk9 , Welcome to the forum.

Are you using the free or paid tier of the API? According to the documentation, the RPD for the free tier is 5, and for Tier 1 it’s 50.
