Manual billing sync request — funded Prepay balance, project stuck on Free Trial

Hello Google AI / Gemini billing team,

I need a manual billing synchronization and account-status correction for a Gemini API project.

Current state

  • Project name: cocukkitabi
  • Project ID: gen-lang-client-0503…638 (redacted)
  • Billing account: 0175D1-…-8C3566 (redacted)
  • A manual Prepay payment of TRY 1,500 was successfully processed on September 17, 2026.
  • Cloud Billing Transactions shows an available ending balance of TRY 1,500.
  • More than 24 hours have passed since payment.

Problem

  • Google AI Studio still shows the project as Free trial.
  • Clicking Activate billing immediately returns System error / Error during billing setup.
  • Gemini image API requests fail with HTTP 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED, showing free-tier request and input-token limits of 0.
  • Google Cloud Billing Account Management says the billing account is Closed.
  • The Reopen billing account button is disabled, although my user is listed as Billing Account Administrator.
  • Google Cloud Billing Assistant confirmed the account is Closed / TIER_FREE while the prepaid balance is present.

Please manually reopen/synchronize the billing account and activate the AI Studio Prepay paid tier for this project. I can provide the complete project and billing account IDs privately to a Google team member.

Thank you.
