Reached the Rate Limit AGAIN


It says I reached the rate limit again, despite the fact I haven’t wasted a lot.

When is this going to be fixed? When will it be fixed, devs? I’m starting to get sick and tired of these stupid rate limit errors.

This is a farce that I hated the most.

Hi @ScarletMarines,

The Gemini API has rate limits that are measured across three main dimensions:

  • Requests per Minute (RPM):The number of API calls you can make per minute.

  • Tokens per Minute (TPM): The number of tokens you can process per minute. This includes both your input and the generated output.

  • Requests per Day (RPD): The total number of API calls you can make in a day.

Exceeding any of these limits will result in a rate limit error. These limits are applied per project, not per API key.

The Gemini API has different usage tiers and upgrading to a higher tier will increase your rate limits.

Thank you!

I want to know the limits of such RPM, TPM and RPD, because the information provided isn’t clear

Hi @ScarletMarines,

Here is a table summarizing the RPM, TPM, and RPD limits for Gemini 2.5 Flash by tier:

Tier RPM TPM RPD
Free 10 250,000 250
Tier 1 1,000 1,000,000 10,000
Tier 2 2,000 3,000,000 100,000
Tier 3 10,000 8,000,000 *

* means have no published rate limits.

Thank you!
