Hello Gemini API Team,
I am writing this to report a critical issue and request assistance regarding my recent Gemini API billing. Google Cloud Billing Support directed me to report this bug here.
Issue Description:
I was using the Google AI Studio Build to create a web application. The AI agent automatically generated the application code. However, the code generated by the AI agent contained a logic flaw—specifically, an infinite loop logic around the Gemini API call using the genai SDK. The while statement failed to meet its break condition during the script generation loop.
Because I ran the code exactly as it was generated and provided by the Google AI Studio Build agent, this infinite loop caused an uncontrolled number of unexpected API calls in a short amount of time before I could stop it. This resulted in a very high, unexpected billing amount on my account.
Additional Evidence (Screen Recordings):
I have captured the actual bug behavior where the UI miscalculated the session costs and automatically triggered a massive API billing loop due to missing error-handling code.

Please escalate this to the Google AI Studio Build engineering team to investigate this UI counter discrepancy and autonomous retry loop.
Thank you.
