Hello, I am requesting manual review to for my current project on google ai studio for gemini api.
I am using this personally for Generating scripts and ideas for my videos, linking it to my github private project. I haven’t hit the limits of api calls for the models and even if I do I always have a fallback to call older models to keep my workflow working, google already tried to stop my gmail account once and I appealed and opened it back up clarifying that I was human.
It says that I need to set up billing but I can’t really pay for it and I am content with the free tier, please remove this flag from my project so I could continue.

If you need I can provide anything else through text or screenshots.
I am still waiting for any possible solution, if I could get in touch with a google cloud engineer / tech support that can help me solve this problem as it caused my workflow to stop in it’s tracks.
Hello @ByteSized_Media ,
Access to the free tier for this project is restricted by automated account verification checks.
To restore access, upgrade the project to a paid tier by setting up prepayment in Google AI Studio (https://aistudio.google.com) or attaching a Google Cloud Billing account in the Google Cloud Console (https://console.cloud.google.com/billing).
Please ensure that you’ve completed Phone Verification and turned on 2-Step Verification (2SV) on the Google Account associated with your project. Once verified, retry your request or create a new API key in Google AI Studio.
If verifying your account does not restore access (or if using a model requiring a paid tier), then as Pooja suggested, you might want to add prepayment credits directly in Google AI Studio or attaching a Google Cloud Billing account in the Google Cloud Console to resolve this.
