Tier 2 Gemini 3.5 Transcribe shows 10,000 RPD but API enforces 100 RPD

[Nadheem_Nazar]

Hello,

I am using Gemini API with a Tier 2 project.

For gemini-3.5-transcribe, both Google AI Studio and Google Cloud Quotas show:

• Paid Tier 2 request limit per day: 10,000
• RPM: 1,000
• TPM: 100,000

But my API requests are failing with HTTP 429:

Quota exceeded for metric: generativelanguage.googleapis.com/generate_requests_per_model_per_day, limit: 100, model: gemini-3.5-transcribe

So the API is enforcing only 100 requests/day, even though my Tier 2 quota shows 10,000 requests/day.

I have confirmed that the API key belongs to the same Tier 2 project.

Could you please check why the API is applying the 100-RPD limit instead of the Tier 2 10,000-RPD limit?

I can provide screenshots showing:

1. AI Studio Tier 2 rate limit = 10,000 RPD
2. Google Cloud quota = 10,000 RPD for Paid Tier 2
3. CMD/API error showing enforced limit = 100

Thank you.
