Hello Google AI Studio Team, I created a full-stack web application using Google AI Studio Build Mode and I am trying to publish it. When I go to: Publish → Get Started the “Confirm project and billing” screen shows: - Google Cloud project: aaaa - No billing setup - Set up billing - Refresh However, I do not see any option to use the Google Cloud Starter Tier. I have refreshed the page multiple times, but the Starter Tier option still does not appear. I do not want to enable paid Cloud Billing or add a payment method. I want to publish my application using the free Starter Tier. Could you please check whether Starter Tier provisioning is available for my account/project and why the Starter Tier option is missing from the Publish flow? I have attached a screenshot of the Publish/Billing screen for reference. I would appreciate help resolving this without enabling paid billing. Thank you.
Hello @Bolta_Bharat ,
Not all accounts are eligible for The Starter Tier. Please check out the caveats mentioned in the Google AI Studio deployment documentation. Eligibility is determined automatically, and we cannot review Starter Tier access manually.
You might want to consider linking a Cloud Billing account to your project.
