Hi I’m curious if anyone knows why I would be receiving Gemini Error: 429 Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota). I’m using the experimental model gemini-1.5-pro-exp-0801 and I’ve enabled billing for my project. Can you not pay for more usage for experimental models?
Also when I do check quota like it says in the error there’s no quota being used up for any generative AI api.
Are you using AI Studio to test the experimental 0801 model? Even when you have billing enabled, use from AI Studio is free, and that means the lower quotas apply. You should have the higher quotas if using the API directly.
Hope that helps!
Yeah I’m using it through the api and I have billing enabled on the project I’m using it with, I am not using it through the ai studio at all. I am not sure why its throwing an error if thats the case for having a paid account.
The 429 error may also be thrown if one of their internal resources has been exhausted. This isn’t something that is under your control and isn’t part of your quota.
Given the model is still experimental, it is likely they have not fully engineered the internal resources to keep up with demand.
That makes sense thank you very much I hadn’t thought about that.
