Why receiving HTTP 429 Too Many Requests

Gemini API
1

I’m workgin with R

library(gemini.R)
library(markdown)
library(rstudioapi)

setAPI(“My_Key”)

prompt ← " Good Morning "

gemini_response ← gemini(prompt = prompt)

Convert the Markdown text to HTML

formatted_html ← markdownToHTML(text = gemini_response, fragment.only = TRUE)

Create a temporary file to hold the HTML content

temp_html_file ← tempfile(fileext = “.html”)

Write the formatted HTML to the temporary file

writeLines(formatted_html, temp_html_file)

Use the RStudio viewer to display the HTML file

viewer(temp_html_file)

I have a brand new key but being told

Error in `req_perform()`:
! HTTP 429 Too Many Requests.
Run `rlang::last_trace()` to see where the error occurred.

Any R users have any idea what is going on .

Hi @Jeff_Reichman
Welcome to the Google AI Forum!!!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
Please follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the GCP Console and navigate to APIs & Services.
  2. Under Metrics, search for and select Generative Language API.
  3. Open the Quotas & System Limits tab and review the Current Usage Percentage.

If the usage has reached 100%, it means your quota limit has been exceeded, which results in the 429 error.
