Hello Google AI Studio Team,
@Logan_Kilpatrick, I’m reporting that Gemini 2.5 Pro disappeared from the model selector in AI Studio today, September 18, 2026. It was still there at noon and was gone by 5:32 PM HKT. This affects paid plan users too.
- Expected Behavior: The official documentation outlines that a scheduled retirement date is not specified. The model should remain fully accessible.
- Actual behavior: Gemini 2.5 Pro is completely absent from the model selector dropdown. Searching for it manually returns nothing except the TTS audio variants.
- Workflow Impact: Consistent access to the exact model version I am developing with is highly important. The sudden removal actively disrupts my current development timeline.
- Community Impact: Other users on the Build with Google AI Forum are experiencing and reporting this same issue today.
Attached Evidence:
I’ve attached a screenshot of the model selector showing the issue. Please refer to the file for visual confirmation.
Thank you for your assistance.
This is Highly unacceptable from Google Side. So much arbitrary decision, There is no deprecation date announced for Gemini 2.5 Pro in their Website. Why Punishing the users who rely on a stable model for their use ? @Payal_Sharma2 @Logan_Kilpatrick @Mahesh_Sutar @Mustan_lokhand
Brother, there is no retirement planned as of now as per their website. They removed their earlier date. But still they deprecated the model without any notification!
Even with Paid Plans, It is not available that’s the Problem. I am an Ultra Subscriber. They already made models like Gemini 2.5 Pro behind the payment wall available only to paid subscribers. But currently the model is itself not available which is contradicting their retirement plan mentioned in their website. There is no stable recommended replacement model available for Gemini 2.5 pro, Hence this is highly unacceptable.
I am using the paid plan and I can’t even access it, bro.
Anyone from Google Team kindly attend this issue ASAP and give us a update. is this a technical glitch or the model is deprecated officially ? @Mustan_lokhand
I’m still waiting on a reply.
