Hi!

I am trying to build a Deep Research Agent. When following the documentation, I get the following error:

google.genai._interactions.RateLimitError: Error code: 429 - [{'error': {'code': 429, 'message': "Quota exceeded for quota metric 'Global Deep Research Agent requests per minute per project.' and limit 'Global Deep Research Agent requests per minute per project. per minute' of service 'aiplatform.googleapis.com' for consumer 'project_number:<projec-number>'.", 'status': 'RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED', 'details': [{'@type': 'type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.ErrorInfo', 'reason': 'RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED', 'domain': 'googleapis.com', 'metadata': {'quota_unit': '1/min/{project}', 'consumer': 'project_number:<projec-number>', 'quota_limit_value': '0', 'quota_location': 'global', 'service': 'aiplatform.googleapis.com', 'quota_metric': 'aiplatform.googleapis.com/global_deep_research_agent_requests_per_minute', 'quota_limit': 'GlobalDeepResearchAgentRequestsPerMinutePerProject'}}, {'@type': 'type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.Help', 'links': [{'description': 'Request a higher quota limit.', 'url': 'https://cloud.google.com/docs/quotas/help/request_increase'}]}]}}]

However, in the console I can’t seem to find this metric. Filtering by the given quota name does not return any result, and filtering by the given metric also does not find any result. Could it be that this error message returns the wrong information? Which quota do I need to bump?

A billing account is linked to my project, so it should at least be Tier 1, no?

Hey @Manuel_S - thanks for reaching out. Can you please share how you’re calling the Deep Research agent?

Based on the error message (aiplatform.googleapis.com) it looks like you’re trying to access the agent via Vertex (which isn’t supported yet, coming soon). Instead, you’ll need to make sure you’re calling via the Gemini API: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/deep-research
