Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing a quota issue with the Generative Language API and hoping someone can help.
The Problem:
-
Google AI Studio shows my project is at Tier 1 (billing enabled and active)
-
However, I’m still being limited to the free tier quota of 250 requests per day
-
In Google Cloud Console under Quotas, the only quota I can see/edit for “Generative Language API” is the free tier limit, which maxes out at 250
-
I need to increase this to 3000 RPD for my application, but there’s no option to request a higher limit
This is what I see when I try to edit quota:
Quota: Request limit per model per day for a project in the free tier
Dimensions:
- model : gemini-2.5-flash
Current value: 250
Enter a new quota value between 0 and 250.
What I’ve Already Tried:
-
Confirmed billing is enabled and active on my Google Cloud project
-
Verified payment method is valid
-
Checked Google AI Studio - it confirms Tier 1 status
-
Looked for quota increase options in Google Cloud Console (IAM & Admin → Quotas) but can only request up to 250
My Setup:
-
Project ID: gen-lang-client-0181131588
-
API: Generative Language API
-
Current tier shown in AI Studio: Tier 1
-
Quota currently enforced: 250 RPD (free tier)
