Hi team,
I’m on Tier 1 (billing active, Mastercard linked) and getting persistent
HTTP 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED on EVERY Batch API job creation, even on the
very first call after no prior batch activity.
Project: gen-lang-client-0989842… (name: “Batch API”)
Model tested: gemini-2.5-flash-lite (also tested gemini-2.5-flash)
Tier: 1 (visible in AI Studio rate limit page)
Current published Tier 1 limit for gemini-2.5-flash-lite Batch enqueued
tokens: 10,000,000
My chunks: 9M tokens each (under the limit)
The error occurs immediately at client.batches.create() — uploaded JSONL
file is accepted, but job creation fails.
Active jobs check returns 0 running/pending jobs (only one cancelled job).
Exact error:
{
“error”: {
“code”: 429,
“message”: “You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan
and billing details…”,
“status”: “RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED”
}
}
This matches the issue reported in:
Could you please check if my project has the Tier 1 Batch API quota
correctly applied?
Happy to DM project number, request IDs, timestamps and rate limit
dashboard screenshot.
Thanks.
