I wanted to use $10 credits for the Gemini API’s, but in Google AI Studio under the API key, it shows 0 Credits, but as you see in the screenshot, I have already claimed… Is there any way to fix this?

Please help me, someone im dealing with this problem since hours

Hello @kevin_bandara

To use the credits:

  • Select the benefit in your Google Developer Program dashboard.

  • Select a billing account to apply the credit to.

  • Create a new Cloud project linked to the billing account, or find an existing one.

  • Go to the AI Studio Projects page and import your project.

How is that possible, if the AI Studio forces prepayment?

Do you have to unlock the Tier 1 account by making a one-time, explicit $10 payment (via credit card) in order to use the 10$ “free” credits from the Developer Program (Google AI Pro subscription from Google One)?

Yes. You are forced to keep the balance above 0, but google will always charge your prepaid first.
