[URGENT] Professional/Pro Account Locked by Error 253 - Requesting Manual Quota Reset on Flow

Gemini API
1

Message: Hello Support and Moderation Team,

I am writing because I am currently experiencing Error Code 253 (Quota Exceeded) on my account. As a [Pro/Ultra] subscriber, I should have access to higher limits, but the system is incorrectly flagging me with a lockout that is preventing me from completing my projects.

I appreciate the hard work you’re doing to manage the Labs’ experimental features, but this “glitch” is currently a total blocker for my work. Since this appears to be a backend sync issue and not a true over-usage on my part, I am requesting that a moderator or dev manually refresh my account’s quota or escalate this to the engineering team immediately.

I have already tried clearing my cache and restarting, but the error persists. I would appreciate a swift resolution so I can get back to using the tools I am subscribed to.

Account Details for Triage:

  • Error Code: 253

  • Subscription Tier: [Your Tier Here]

  • Timestamp of last error: [Current Time]

Thank you for your help in getting this resolved quickly.

And not to mention this stupid generating too fast Glitch bug with it, i’ve been waiting for mins now and its still not working, why do they have to become strict like we are not doing any thing wrong

I’m not sure, nothing would work, even the community won’t help and find other ways instead of giving up, I wish we had fast moderation, No offense and not to be rude, but its the truth

Hello everyone,
Thanks for the report & apologies. We don’t believe this issue ever affected AI Studio / Gemini API. This is now confirmed as fixed in Flow.
