Hello,
All Gemini API generation requests on my account have been returning 403 since
2026-09-27. The error is identical across every model and every API key I create,
including a brand-new project created today:
403 PERMISSION_DENIED
{“error”:{“code”:403,
“message”:“Your project has been denied access. Please contact support.”,
“status”:“PERMISSION_DENIED”}}
Account: l…@gmail.com
Project IDs affected:
- axing-509900 (created 2026-09-27)
- caramel-hallway-503100-..
- dev-racer-494715-d1
What I have already verified:
- GET /v1beta/models returns HTTP 200 and lists 50 models
→ so the API keys themselves authenticate correctly - POST /v1beta/models/gemini-flash-latest:generateContent → 403
- POST /v1beta/models/gemini-3-flash-preview:generateContent → 403
- POST /v1beta/models/gemini-pro-latest:generateContent → 403
- POST /v1beta/models/gemini-flash-lite-latest:generateContent → 403
- POST /v1beta/openai/chat/completions → 403
- Creating a new API key in a new project did not change anything
I am an individual developer using the Gemini API for a personal chat application.
I have not violated the Gemini API Terms of Service, I have no unpaid balance, and
I have no other Google account issues.
This looks like a false positive from an automated classifier. Could a team member
please manually review and restore Gemini API access for these projects?
Thank you.
