Request for Review – BZAT AI Project Restricted – 403 Permission Denied

Gemini API
1

Hello Google Gemini API Support Team,

I am requesting a review of my Gemini API project.

Project name: BZAT AI

Project ID: gen-lang-client-07626350..

When I send a Gemini API request, I receive:

403 PERMISSION_DENIED

“Your project has been denied access. Please contact support.”

The project currently shows:

Billing Tier: Unavailable

Status: Restricted

I created this project for BZAT.ai, a legitimate AI-powered content creation website. The website uses the Gemini API through a Cloudflare Worker, with the API key stored as a secret and not exposed in the frontend.

My Google account security requirements, including 2-Step Verification, are already enabled.

Please review the project and let me know why access has been restricted and whether the project can be restored.

I am happy to provide any additional information required and will comply with Google’s Gemini API policies and Terms.

Thank you.

Hi @Adeel_Hayee_Bhatti,
Please try the below steps:

  1. Check Model Availability & Rate Limits:

    • Ensure that the model you are requesting is available on your current plan. For example, not all models are available on the free tier. You can verify model availability, quotas, and limits on the AI Studio Rate Limit dashboard.

  2. Verify your Google Account:

  3. Upgrade to a Paid Tier:

    • If verifying your account does not restore access (or if using a model requiring a paid tier), you can unlock access by adding prepayment credits directly in Google AI Studio or attaching a Google Cloud Billing account in the Google Cloud Console.
