I am encountering an issue with the Gemini Flash 1.5 API, where I receive a 429 (Too Many Requests) error after making only 2-4 requests, despite the documented rate limit being 2000 requests per minute (RPM) for my paid plan.
I have already attempted adding delays between requests, yet the issue persists. Based on the API documentation, I should be well within the allowed rate limits, but the system is still throttling my requests unexpectedly.
Could you please help me understand:
- Whether there are any undocumented limitations or restrictions that might be causing this?
- If my account or API key is being incorrectly rate-limited?
- Any recommended troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue?
