Hello Google AI Studio team,
I am trying to publish a full-stack application created with Google AI Studio Build Mode. When I click Publish → Get Started, the Confirm project and billing screen only shows:
Default Gemini Project
No billing setup
Set up billing
Refresh
The Google Cloud Starter Tier option does not appear, even after refreshing.
My current project is on the Free Gemini API tier, with ₹0 API usage, and I have not enabled prepaid billing. The Billing page shows that a billing account exists, but no prepayment has been configured.
According to the current Google AI Studio documentation, eligible users can publish up to 2 full-stack applications using the Google Cloud Starter Tier without setting up a Google Cloud billing account.
Could you please check whether the Starter Tier deployment entitlement is available/provisioned for my account and why the option is not appearing?
I do not want to enable paid billing or prepay simply to access the Starter Tier.
I have attached screenshots of the Publish, Projects, Billing, Usage, and API Keys pages for reference.
Thank you.
