Unable to submit request because it has a maxOutputTokens value of 828858

Gemini API
1

I am using Gemini CLI.

I start some discussions, say 5-6 prompt exchanges, which go okay, and then a total wipeout occurs.

>  [API Error: Unable to submit request because it has a maxOutputTokens value of 828858 but the supported range is 
>   from 1 (inclusive) to 65537 (exclusive). Update the value and try again.]

This message recurs, and there is no preventing it once it starts.

I made the decision to upgrade from Gemini Pro to Gemini Pro Ultra AI (that’s a pricey upgrade!) - and felt I would be well-supported in this decision with ample usage. I am curious if "maxOutputTokens is affected by my upgrade decision?

Bottom line, this is a difficult problem to diagnose with limited visibility into the debug console. I need advice for how to overcome this issue and get back to productive usage. No other parts of my usage are irregular, just examining a code base and diagnosing how to proceed. No successful tasks as yet, just the repeated crashing state with no way to fix.

I hope the fix gets a review/merge soon because this isn’t limited to “long conversations” as highlighted, the system is crashing very quickly due to the appended chat.
