Hello Google Gemini API Team,
I am requesting a manual review of Gemini API access for my project.
Project name: LocalPlate AI
Project ID: projects/72840078504..
Google AI Studio currently shows:
Billing tier: Unavailable
Status: Restricted
Every generate Content request from my Next.js backend returns:
403 PERMISSION_DENIED
I have already completed:
- Phone verification
- Age verification
- 2-Step Verification
I created the API key successfully in Google AI Studio and stored it securely as an environment variable.
My project is a low-volume personal development project called LocalPlate AI, an AI-powered meal planning application.
I would like to use the eligible Free Tier and do not want to enable paid billing.
Could you please manually review the project restriction and restore Gemini API access if this restriction was applied in error?
Thank you.
