Filed as antigravity-cli issue: [[Bug]: All models gated behind a retired "Gemini Code Assist for individuals" eligibility check - verdict differs between two accounts at the same location · Issue #1016 · google-antigravity/antigravity-cli · GitHub](https://github.com/google-antigravity/antigravity-cli/issues/1016)

Short version, all measured on one machine with one IPv4 egress, two consumer Google accounts, minutes apart:

| | Account A | Account B |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Eligibility check | passes | blocked - “not eligible for Gemini Code Assist for individuals because it is not currently available in your location” |
| Gemini, default backend | `400 FAILED_PRECONDITION` - “User location is not supported for the API use” | eligibility error |
| Claude (`claude-sonnet-4-6`), default backend | **200 OK** | eligibility error |
| Gemini, production backend via `CLOUD_CODE_URL` | `429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED`, no location error | eligibility error |

Two things look wrong:

1. A location-based gate should not give two different answers to two accounts at the same location.
2. Antigravity is enforcing the eligibility rules of Gemini Code Assist for individuals - a product retired on 2026-06-18 whose documented migration target is Antigravity itself.

`agy` 1.2.2, Antigravity IDE 1.107.0 (stable), Windows 11. No VPN or proxy; single residential IPv4, no IPv6 route. `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` is ignored - `applyAuthResult` logs `quotaProject=` (empty) with or without it. Full logs, transcripts and error IDs are in the GitHub issue.

Same symptom reported earlier with no replies on any of them:

This may be the same root cause as the recent “Entitlement Desync” / “showing as Starter Quota” reports in this category, which are also eligibility-lookup failures rather than genuine plan or location limits.

Hi @oMempty,

Welcome to the Forum,

The location eligibility check for Antigravity is evaluated based on the registered home country/region associated with your Google Account profile, rather than your current IP address alone.

If two accounts on the same machine receive different eligibility verdicts, it indicates that the accounts have different country profile settings or age verification statuses in their Google Account profiles.

To resolve this issue and enable Antigravity on both accounts:

- Check Account Country Region: Visit the Google Terms of Service page at [https://policies.google.com/terms](https://policies.google.com/terms) while signed into each account to view the registered country associated with the account. If the listed country is incorrect or unsupported, submit a request to update your region as detailed in the official Antigravity [FAQ | Google Antigravity Docs](https://antigravity.google/docs/faq#what-is-google-antigravitys-geographical-availability)

- Verify Age Eligibility: Antigravity requires age verification for personal Google accounts. Confirm that your account age is verified at [https://myaccount.google.com/age-verification](https://myaccount.google.com/age-verification)

- Refresh Local Auth & Claims Cache: Open Antigravity IDE, press `Ctrl+Shift+P` (or `Cmd+Shift+P` on macOS), and run `Antigravity: Reset Onboarding`

- Model Differences: Gemini models enforce regional availability checks at the API gateway level, whereas Claude models route via separate authorization paths. Once your Google Account region is verified as supported, Gemini models will function normally
