[Quota Limit Reached] Billing Enabled, but Project Seems Stuck on Free-Tier Quotas for Gemini API

Gemini API

1

Hello,

I have a Google Cloud project with billing correctly enabled and linked. I am attempting to use the Gemini API with the gemini-2.5-pro model.

Despite being a paid user, I am consistently hitting a “Quota Limit Reached” error. My current usage is far below the expected Standard Paid Tier limits (e.g., I’ve only made a small number of requests, significantly under 50,000 RPD).

I suspect my project’s quotas have not correctly been uplifted from the Free Tier limits (which are much lower).

Could a support representative please investigate and manually ensure my project is assigned the correct Standard Paid Tier quotas for the Gemini API?

Project Details:

  • Project ID: [15YezT–6KMfeQQJWKhDKl0Hkm-oHqCZ1u1NjS5fp1KfqEBawxYWMAmAJ]

  • Model Affected: gemini-2.5-pro

  • API Used: Gemini API (through Google Cloud/AI Studio)

Thank you for your help.
