Hi there:
I was using AI Studio for about 4 months or so, and I rely on a free tier (as an opposed to paid tiers) as a way to work with my games or apps daily.
What’s missing on an AI Studio dashboard itself… is a meter for me to check how many AI requests or tokens what I have left.
Usually, I take my time as I develop games. If I ran out of free quotas (depending on my usage); I wait for the next day. I usually use Gemini 3.5 Flash (not Gemini 3.5 Flash Light) to make games/apps.
If I have smaller games, what I’ve currently working on… I use my quotas with a reasonable amount.
Sometimes… I have to conserve my usage, that way; I can wait for tomorrow like usual.
