/v1beta/models works successfully.
generateContent returns:
403 PERMISSION_DENIED
"Your project has been denied access. Please contact support
."

Cloud Console shows the project as active with no suspension
or appeal banner.

I also attempted to contact Cloud Billing Support, but this is
a free-tier project without a billing account, so Billing Support
will not allow me to open a case.

Please manually review the Gemini API restriction on my account/project.strong text

Hello @edward_huang ,

Getting a 403 API error response and / or seeing “Unavailable” next to your project in AI audio indicates a flag has been placed on your account. To proceed:

  1. Check for banners / error callouts in the AI Studio Projects page & the Billing page.

  2. If the issue isn’t clear from the above, contact Cloud Billing Support.
