Hello Gemini API Product Team,I am using Google AI Studio on mobile to develop an application. I have an active Jio Gemini Pro consumer subscription bundle, and my profile avatar correctly displays the active “PRO” badge icon within the AI Studio interface.However, because my workspace project is on the Free Tier, the platform completely hides the Gemini Pro models from my chat drop-down selector menu and blocks my application configurations by demanding a credit card and enterprise Google Cloud billing account setup.As a student/independent builder using a phone, I do not want to set up an enterprise payment system, I do not want to link a credit card, and I cannot spend extra money on API token fees when I already hold an active Pro plan badge on my account.Please consider updating the platform policies so that developers with active consumer Pro tier subscriptions can access Gemini Pro models natively inside the AI Studio Free Tier limits, without being forced behind a credit card wall.Thank you.
