Free tier#
Google offers a genuinely usable free tier, which makes Gemini a good first provider for evaluation. It comes with tight per-minute and per-day request limits.
If bulk runs fail with RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED or HTTP 429, you are hitting them. Options:
- Raise Delay Between API & Scraping Requests (ms)
- Attach a billing-enabled project
- Add more keys to the textarea and let rotation spread the load
Safety filters#
Gemini applies safety filters and can return an empty response with a SAFETY finish reason rather than
an error. Aimogen Pro classifies this as a safety failure, which
Reliability Mode deliberately does not cool down or retry on another
model — retrying a blocked prompt on a different model usually blocks again.
If legitimate content is being blocked, rewrite the prompt. Marketing copy about weapons, health claims, alcohol and similar topics trips these filters most often.
Common problems#
API_KEY_INVALID
The key is wrong, or the Generative Language API is not enabled on the project.
RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED / 429
Free-tier quota. See above.
Empty response, no error A safety block. Check System & Logs › Activity Logs for the finish reason.
A model in the dropdown returns 404 Preview models are region-limited and are sometimes withdrawn. Choose a stable model.
