Hello Gemini API Team, My project is showing “This Project’s API access is restricted. Please set up billing to continue.” and I get a 403 PERMISSION\_DENIED error. I have already verified my age, phone number, and enabled 2-Step Verification. I want to use the free tier for learning/development. Could you please manually review my account and restore free tier access?
