Intermittent gemini-embedding-001 429 errors despite very low usage

Sorry for the spamming, but it’s necessary since Google isn’t answering me!

It seems that privacy debates have reached a completely new, surreal level on the Google AI Developers Forum.

While engineers and lawyers struggle in the background with GDPR Article 17 and the server-side fate of deleted data, a courtroom meme equipped with rock-solid legal evidence and a flying, neon-pink adult novelty item has appeared on the official developer platform.

The absurdity of the situation:

  • The legal dilemma: The post includes official bug tracker numbers, evidence of data retention, and proofs of delivery.
  • The moderation dilemma: In the image, SpongeBob and Squidward are screaming as they flee the flying object.

If the moderators delete the post due to adult content, they risk being accused of spoliation of evidence; if they leave it up, a flying dildo is displayed on the company’s official platform alongside developer inquiries.

The system is working, the forum is buzzing, and the absurdity has reached its absolute peak.
