New Error with no changes to API KEY or model

I started getting the error `google.genai.errors.ClientError: 400 FAILED_PRECONDITION. {‘error’: {‘code’: 400, ‘message’: ‘User location is not supported for the API use.’, ‘status’: ‘FAILED_PRECONDITION’}}`on my server (location of server is Helsinki - Europe)
I use the model `gemini-3-flash-preview` via langchain’s ChatGoogleGenerativeAI. On my local machine I don’t get this error - the error is only on the production server. My billing account is set up with no recent changes.

same issue here! in production most of our google api requests fail with same error (for gemini 3 pro image preview), on localhost all of them succeed. we are calling via kubernetes location Frankfurt, Germany. Some succeed.
