we are bringing billing into AI Studio and adding hard caps by default so you don't overspend

Thank you, Logan! It's a very welcome change! Glad my comment reached you.

nope, at least dev rel in deepmind is part of my product team

my team is responsible for building the worlds best product, every piece of feedback directly influences what we do : )

> cart out in front of the horse a bit on this one, lame hype building at best

hmmm

> 2. Not at all what I want the team focusing on, they don't seem to have a clear mission

allow anyone to build with Google's latest AI models, be the fastest path from prompt to production with Gemini

> I've been using the AI Studio with my personal Workspace account. I can generate an API key. That worked for a while, but now Gemini CLI won't accept it. Why? No clue. It just says that I'm "not allowed" to use Gemini Pro 3 with the CLI tool. No reason given, no recourse, just a hand in your face flatly rejecting access to something I am paying for and can use elsewhere.

Passing along this feedback to the CLI team, no clue why this would be the case.

AI Studio is meant to be the fast path from prompt to production, bringing billing fully into AI Studio in January will make this even faster! We have hundreds of thousands of paying customers in production using AI Studio right now.

You can check your usage, inclusive of Gemini 3 here: https://aistudio.google.com/usage?timeRange=last-28-days just make sure you have the right project selected

Added a big button on: https://googledevai.devsite.corp.google.com/gemini-api/docs/... to make this more clear

we will have this fixed soon : ) thank you for the patience, have wanted this in AI Studio directly since the day I joined Google!

That should not be the case, if so it is a bug, if we load shed (which does happen some what frequently given the demand our systems are under) we should be returning a 503, not 429. If you suspect something is amiss and you get a 429 even though your limits don't show it in https://aistudio.google.com/usage?timeRange=last-28-days&tab..., pls email me: Lkilpatrick@google.com
