Subject: Request for Manual Account Review – Gemini API Free Tier Access Restricted

Hello Gemini API Team,

I am requesting a manual review of my account restrictions in Google AI Studio.

Currently, all projects in my account show a status of Restricted, and the Billing Tier displays Set up billing — Unavailable. I intend to use the Gemini API strictly within the Free Tier for basic development.

Account Details:

  • Primary Project ID: gen-lang-client-046504275.. (Default Gemini Project)

  • Intended Usage: Non-commercial development and testing via the Free Tier.

Steps Taken on My Side:

  1. Verified that 2-Step Verification (2FA) is active on my primary Google Account.

  2. Removed unused secondary projects to clear project clutter.

  3. Confirmed no public API key exposure or policy-violating automated traffic occurred.

It appears my account may have been caught in an automated anti-abuse flag during project setup. Could a member of the Google AI Studio team please manually inspect my account to restore Free Tier access?

Thank you for your assistance!
