Gemini API

Hi, I recently created a gemini api key with my new gmail account that was never used for this purpose. but the code still showing below error-
google.genai.errors.ClientError: 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED. {‘error’: {‘code’: 429, ‘message’: 'You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, head to: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits. To monitor your current usage, head to: https://ai.dev/rate-limit.

I didn’t use even single request with newly created api key but the 1st api call is showing this error.

Hi @Tanmay_Bairagi , could you share the entire 429 error message to help debug further? This could happen if you are trying to use a model that is available only in the paid tier such as gemini-3-pro-preview from a free tier project. The rate limits for your project are visible at https://ai.dev/rate-limit as mentioned in the error message.
