free tier quota

[kanishkave]

Hey, I am trying to run the demo using the aistudio gemini api key but i get rate limited almost immediately.

in my project the computer-use-preview quota is 0 and i cant increase it.

so we can't run this demo for free we must have a billing account?

Hey @kanishkave - correct, currently the Computer Use model isn't available on the free tier (docs).

@kanishkave @vishal-dharm The reason is that it also hits gemini-2.5-pro and that is not in the free tier.

I tried to use the key from: https://aistudio.google.com/, and https://console.cloud.google.com/, but it return the same issue:

You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, head
to: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits.\n*

But I'm already Gemini Pro, I don't know how to increase the quota?

@Pancat009 You need to setup billing. When you create an API key in Google AI studio, click on the Set up billing link to switch from the free tier to a paid tier.

Excuse me, how much quota will be consumed by running demo once? I'm measuring the cost performance ratio between this automation agent and the overhead.

@Pancat009您需要设置计费。在Google AI Studio中创建 API 密钥时，点击Set up billing链接即可从免费套餐切换到付费套餐。

Billing is set up, but using the API key for gemini-2.5-computer-use-preview-1

0-2025 still returns an 'invalid API key' error.
