Need help with rate limit increase for Gemini API: $100 already paid (Case #68739892)

Hello everyone,

I am currently trying to set up a paid Google Gemini API key to increase my rate limits. I have already deposited $100 into my billing account, but I am still facing issues with properly setting up the account and actually getting the quota increase.

I previously reached out to Google Cloud Support (Case #68739892), but they informed me that this specific API and quota issue falls outside the scope of standard Cloud Billing Support. They directed me to the rate limit increase form and suggested I ask for assistance here in the community.

Since I have already paid the $100, could someone from the team please guide me on how to resolve these restrictions so I can successfully use my increased API quota?

Thank you in advance for your time and help!
