so i went to use one of my apps and
i was given a 0 quota error so i went
to fix it and got told that image generation models require an API key from a project with billing enabled, and the free tier quota is 0.
and that the Gemini API Free Tier is not available in certain regions (such as the UK, Switzerland, or the EU). which is a load of … and should not be happening anyway. ive been using this for months
and nothing like this has happened
until now i am really angry about this.
so i am now deleting all my apps and
am never using google ai studio again
Hello,
I completely understand your frustration, and I can truly empathize with how incredibly annoying it must be to suddenly encounter quota errors and restrictive policy changes on a service you’ve been using smoothly for months. It is entirely natural to feel angry when your workflow is disrupted without warning.
That being said, please know that Google AI Studio is just one of many options available today. Since this service is causing you so much stress and frustration right now, it might be a good opportunity to explore other alternative platforms and APIs in the market. I believe finding and utilizing a different tool that better fits your specific region and project needs, without these sudden restrictions, could be a much better way to solve your problem moving forward.
I truly hope you find a great alternative tool that works seamlessly for you and allows you to continue your work without further issues.
Best regards,
sigh i cant find alternative platforms and APIs google ai studio is the only one that’s decent than the rest. i mean why does photo generation have to be paid now anyway it wasn’t before and should not be paid now at all
