Why do I only get 50 free requests per day for Gemini-2.5-Pro instead of 100?

Gemini API

Hello,

According to the official Gemini API documentation, free-tier users should have 100 free requests per day for the gemini-2.5-pro model.

However, in my actual usage I consistently see that my quota is limited to only 50 requests per day. Once I hit that number, I immediately receive RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED errors with the quota message.

Could someone from the team clarify:

  1. Is the free-tier daily quota for gemini-2.5-pro currently 100 requests/day or 50 requests/day?
  2. If it should be 100, why am I only receiving 50? Is this due to regional differences, account type restrictions, or recent policy changes?
  3. Is there a way for me to confirm the exact quota applied to my account?

Thanks in advance for your help!
