Upgraded to tier 1 and I'm still getting the free tier limit

I upgraded to tier 1 to use Gemini 2.5 pro, but when testing, I’m getting error 429 with a limit “0”. Is this a general error? Has this happened to anyone else? I need help!

Right now they skinned every other model and fed it to 3.0, that’s why you can’t use it.

Hi @joss_Alarcon , Thanks for reporting this issue.

Could you please confirm if you are using a newly generated API key and verify that Cloud Billing is fully enabled and linked to the same Google Cloud project you upgraded in AI Studio?
