Problems on Googles end

Gemini API
,
1

Hi!

My website has been working for months, with the free google AI studio api key. My project is coded on firebase studio. I have been working for hours.

500 Internal Server Error / Overload

  • Occurs when sending longer prompts.

  • Message: “Server error occurred during AI flow. Service currently overloaded.”

  • Cause: Google AI servers are temporarily overloaded, common on free-tier accounts.

  1. 404 Not Found — Model Missing

    • Happens when switching models like gemini-1.5-flash or gemini-2.0-flash.

    • Message: “Model not found for API version v1beta.”

    • Cause: Some Gemini models have been removed or renamed in the v1beta API.

  2. 429 Too Many Requests / Quota Exceeded

    • Appears with shorter prompts sometimes.

    • Message: “Too many requests. Your quota may have been exceeded.”

    • Cause: Hitting API rate limits or daily quota on your key.

Even though I switched API key, error persists. Problem on Googles side?

Thankful for help,

Edvin
