Stuck on 2 RPM Image Limit on Vertex AI while using $300 Free Cloud Credits

Gemini API

Hi Google AI Team,

I am developing an automated application using the Agent Platform API on Vertex AI for image generation tasks. My GCP Project ID is youcan-3384…

I am hitting a strict pipeline bottleneck due to a hardcoded “System limit: 2” Requests Per Minute (RPM) restriction. In my Cloud Console, this specific metric says “Adjustable: No,” so I cannot change it myself.

I am currently utilizing the $300 first-time customer Google Cloud free credits. Based on other threads here (like the one from Finsheet_Mail), it seems that even though my billing is enabled, the backend still throttles my account limits because I am running on free trial credits.

Could someone please clarify:

  1. Is this 2 RPM limit a hard restriction for anyone using the $300 free trial credits?
  2. What is the exact step to transition my project out of this restricted tier so I can actually test my image generation pipeline at production speeds?
  3. Can an engineer manually whitelist my project ID to bypass this 2 RPM system block?

Thank you for your help!
