VitaCore AI – Gemini API Free Tier Restricted – Request for Project Review

Hello Google Gemini API Team,

I am requesting a manual review of my Gemini API project because its Free Tier access is currently restricted.

Google AI Studio shows:

Billing Tier: Unavailable
Status: Restricted

Gemini API requests from my application return HTTP 403 PERMISSION_DENIED.

I am developing VitaCore AI, a wellness and fitness application, for legitimate development and testing.

I would like to use the eligible Gemini API Free Tier and do not want to enable paid billing.

My Gemini API key is configured as a server-side secret in Google AI Studio, and the Gemini API is enabled for my Google Cloud project.

Project name: VitaCore AI
Project ID: vitacore-ai-50931..

Please manually review my project/account and let me know why Free Tier access has been restricted and whether the restriction can be removed.

Thank you.
