Hello Google AI Forum Team,
I am writing to seek assistance regarding a sudden 403 Forbidden error I encountered while using the Gemini API.
As an individual developer and independent researcher focusing on Deep Learning (currently working on a project involving Multi-Scale Temporal Fusion Networks), the Gemini API has been an essential tool for my development workflow and academic exploration. Recently, however, my requests started being rejected despite no changes to my implementation.
Here are some details regarding my situation:
-
Account Type: Individual Developer.
-
Usage Context: Academic research and local development using a WSL-based environment.
-
Error Observed: Consistent
403 Forbiddenstatus codes across multiple requests. -
Troubleshooting Done: I have verified my API key, checked my billing/quota status, and ensured my network configuration is stable. I am confident that my usage aligns with the Google Generative AI Terms of Service.
I believe my account or IP range may have been flagged by an automated system by mistake. I am committed to maintaining a high standard of compliance with Google’s policies and would appreciate it if the team could review my account status or provide guidance on how to resolve this restriction.
Being unable to access the model has significantly halted my research progress. Thank you very much for your time and for the amazing tools you provide to the community.
Best regards,
