I am currently a Paid Tier 1 subscriber for the Gemini API. I’ve observed that in my current tier, the models Gemini 2.0 Flash, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and Gemini 2.5 Pro are indicated as supporting the “Grounding with Google Search” feature, apparently each with a certain usage allowance.
My primary question is: For these three specific models (namely Gemini 2.0 Flash, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and Gemini 2.5 Pro), is the usage quota for “Grounding with Google Search” shared under a single, combined limit, or does each model have its own independent, separately calculated usage quota?
For instance, if I use the Grounding feature with Gemini 2.0 Flash for a certain number of calls, would this usage count against or consume the available quota for the Grounding feature on Gemini 2.5 Flash or Gemini 2.5 Pro?
Clarification on this point is very important to me as it will directly influence how I plan my strategy for utilizing the Grounding feature across these specific models and how I can effectively manage my API usage and associated costs.
I look forward to your reply and clarification. Thank you for your time and support.
