Why is my free 300$ credit not being used? - Google Cloud
As a newcomer to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), I am currently in the process of building a web application using Gemini from the Vertex AI platform. Upon signing up, I was delighted to receive a 300$ free credit. However, I have encountered a recurring issue while using Gemini where it is experiencing rate limiting even after a single request.
This issue manifests as an error message indicating that the quota has been exceeded for aiplatform.googleapis.com/generate_content_requests_per_minute_per_project_per_base_model with the base model being gemini-1.5-flash. The message advises to submit a quota increase request. More details on this can be found here.
The expected limit for requests per minute is 60, but in my case, it appears to be restricted to only 1 request per minute. Unfortunately, as I am currently on the free tier, I am unable to request an increase in the quota. I am seeking assistance to address this limitation. Can anyone provide guidance or support?
