Hello Gemini API team,
I am requesting a manual review of Free Tier Gemini API access for my Google account.
Google AI Studio currently shows both of my projects as Restricted:
Project 1
Name: BWWORLDLIFE
ID: bwworldlife
Project 2
Name: BW-Social-Gemini
ID: bw-social-gemini
AI Studio displays:
“This project’s API access is restricted. Please set up billing to continue.”
My Gemini API generateContent request also returns:
403 PERMISSION_DENIED
“Your project has been denied access. Please contact support.”
I created the second project only to determine whether the issue was specific to the original project, but the new project is also Restricted.
My intended use is a low-volume BW World Life creator-platform automation. It analyzes images I own, creates titles, descriptions, alt text and hashtags, stores the result in Google Sheets, and requires manual email approval before publishing.
I would like to remain on the eligible Free Tier and do not want to enable paid billing merely to bypass an automated verification restriction.
Could you please review my account/projects and restore Free Tier Gemini API access if this is a false positive, or tell me which eligibility or verification requirement is preventing access?
I can provide screenshots and additional account/project information privately if needed.
Thank you.
