Getting Error: "you exceeded your current quote"; however, quote in google cloud console/api is not met

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. For more information on this error, head to: h.

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.

I’ve been having the exact same issue! Did you manage to fix it yet?

Unfortunately not, I have instead started to use other APIs not from google. The ambiguous error message really concerned me and led me to use other APIs where the implementation is a lot more clear.

That’s fair enough. I can understand model instability, especially while it’s in preview. But we can take that risk for a brief time… Hopefully a quota increase from Google and a way of monitoring & scaling the AI / app will be a fix - but we’ll see.

Thanks for getting back to me on this!

Does it work for you now? I just got the same problem and could not find what the limit was or how to adjust it.

RE - Deleted post below: So I pestered the AI Studio team into moving me to Tier 3 - it’ll serve our purposes for the moment, but will look to bring in some expertise to take this challenge off my plate at the right time as it’s not my bag.

Hope this helps
