Hello Google AI Developer Community,
I am seeking assistance regarding the suspension of my Google Cloud project used with the official Gemini CLI on Ubuntu Linux.
My project was restricted following a Google Cloud policy violation notification. I submitted an official appeal on September 29, 2026, and received an automated acknowledgment, but I have not received a decision or any further updates.
Technical details:
-
Product: Gemini API / Gemini CLI
-
Operating system: Ubuntu Linux
-
Error: HTTP 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED
-
Reason: RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
-
Quota metric: GenerateContentRequestsPerMinutePerProjectPerRegion
-
Quota location: us-south1
-
Quota limit value: 0
The issue also occurs when calling the Gemini API directly using curl, which confirms that it is not specific to my Gemini CLI installation.
I contacted Google One Support, but they explained that Gemini API suspensions are handled by a separate Google Cloud Trust & Safety team. Unfortunately, they could not provide a direct escalation channel.
I would appreciate guidance from Google staff or community moderators regarding:
-
How can I check the status of an existing Gemini API suspension appeal?
-
Is there an official way to follow up with Google Cloud Trust & Safety?
-
Can a Google representative help route my pending appeal to the appropriate team?
I am not requesting that any policy enforcement be bypassed. I would simply like to understand the reason for the restriction and obtain a review of my pending appeal.
Thank you for your assistance.
