AI Studio Quota Limits -"User has exceeded quota"

I keep encountering the following error when playaround with AI Studio apps: "Failed to call the Gemini API: user has exceeded quota. Please try again later."
I am using the gemini-2.5-flash model. When I switch to gemini-3-flash-preview, the model respose seems empty as well.

I noticed in the resources page, it says the AI Studio is free tier, while any clarification about the quota?

  Hi there,

  If you're getting a 429 error, you are hitting the standard free tier limit.

  Solution:

  Exponential Backoff: Implement retry logic in your code.

  New Project: Create a new Google Cloud Project (GCP) to get a fresh bucket of free tier quota.

  Optimize: Reduce the frequency of your tests or use ""Flash"" for high-volume testing and ""Pro"" only for the final recording for your demo video.

  Good luck!
