Paid Tier project in AI Studio still shows “Update to continue your flow / daily limit reached”

Google AI Studio
1

I have a Google AI Studio app that keeps showing:

“Update to continue your flow. You’ve reached your daily limit.”

I already verified that:

  • The app is using the correct API key

  • The API key belongs to project studio-1774254699-e9533

  • The project appears as Paid / Tier 1 / Postpaid

  • Usage and visible rate limits are well below the project limits

  • Billing is active and payments are already reflected

Even so, inside aistudio.google.com/apps/... the app editor still blocks me with the daily-limit message.

Please check whether:

  1. the app editor is applying a different internal quota than the visible Gemini API project limits,

  2. there is a quota/tier propagation issue for this paid project,

  3. this is a known AI Studio bug.

I can provide screenshots of:

  • Projects

  • API Keys

  • Billing

  • Usage

  • Rate limits

  • The blocked app editor message
