Title: 403 PERMISSION_DENIED — "Your project has been denied access" on fresh project with active billing — requesting review and unlock

Hello, I’m requesting a review and unlock of Gemini API access for the project below. The error appears consistently on a freshly created project with no prior usage history and no policy violation. Project ID: mag-coinebi Project Number: 2046645800.. Account type: Personal Google account Region: Georgia (country) Billing: ENABLED — upgraded to full account, Paid Tier 1, $300 GCP credits active Generative Language API: ENABLED Error (all API keys, all models, including gemini-3.5-flash): {“error”:{“code”:403,“message”:“Your project has been denied access. Please contact support.”,“status”:“PERMISSION_DENIED”}} The project was created today for a legitimate content-automation use case (news publishing for my own website). I believe this is a false positive from the automated abuse filters. Could you please review and restore access? Thank you.

Hello @mag_coinebi ,
Getting a 403 API error response and / or seeing “Unavailable” next to your project in AI audio indicates a flag has been placed on your account. To proceed:

  1. Check for banners / error callouts in the AI Studio Projects page & the Billing page.

  2. If the issue isn’t clear from the above, contact Cloud Billing Support.
