Hi @DCChen, welcome to the community!

Never expose your API key in a public forum, even though you mentioned it’s deleted. Always use some kind of alias like ‘your_api_key‘ or something else.

Could you please explain what issue you are facing? As per the logs you have posted, it appears you are facing a 429 error, but it’s not clear what operation you are trying to run.

Also, gemini-2.0-flash is deprecated, please try to use newer models like (gemini-2.5-flash)

Thank you!
