Hello! I am writing to report an issue with model availability in Google AI Studio. The gemini-2.5-pro model no longer appears as available under my usage limits. I was successfully making API requests with this model just last week, and as recently as yesterday, everything was working normally. However, as of today, the model has disappeared from the list. This issue persists even when I click to show ‘all models’ in the ‘Usage and billing’ section. Could someone please advise on this? Is this a known issue, or has the model been intentionally removed/restricted from the free usage tier? Thank you for your assistance. [image]

Looks like flash and flash‑lite still have 20 RPD left, but seriously, can we at least get a heads‑up for something this major? This is just awful.

Yes, it’s like the situation when openai launched gpt 5 and removed 4o. The situation is so similar because I think 2.5pro is also better than 3pro in some aspects. This could destroy users’ trust.

Hey! Yes, we turned down the 2.5 Pro free limits which were originally only supposed to be available for a single weekend. We have a huge amount of demand for 3.0 Pro and Nano Banana Pro right now so needed to move capacity there. In general, for any models on the free tier, you should expect a highly unstable service. We are not building or providing guarantees on this tier and I would personally suggest not putting something into production with it. If you want to use the paid API tier 1, you can still access all of the models.

It will be back? I really need Gemini 2.5 pro for my project.

I literally desparate! It was working yesterday and i was able to work and function. Now i cant use Gemini 2.5 Pro on my n8n workflow! Please, i need to know if will be back or they will make changes! There is nothing as good as 2.5 pro and FOR FREE in the market! I NEED HELP!!! :sob:

This one hurt. [Whisk_ygmzgjn0iwmldjm50co5idotudmlrtlljty50sz]

You didn’t simply reduce the Pro free limits; you removed them entirely.

Was it permanently removed? The decision to remove Gemini 2.5pro was made suddenly without any email notification, severely crippling my application.

Free Tier was eradicated, not limited. It’s literally gone.

Is Gemini-2.5-pro disabled for free-tier?

I really hope they bring back the free version. I literally can’t function without it.
