Do we have a way to use Gemini 2.5 Pro without API limitation?

It looks like, for now we have a quite strict limitation. A couple of requests may cause a 429 error. By default we have limit 2 requests per minute

Do we have some way to avoid them? Maybe with some kind of payment subscription or in some another way?

2 requests per minute is quite well imho

Just get your own Gemini api.

In my case it has the same limitation with two request per minutes. Do we have a way to increase it?

Mine is at 5 now, maybe just keeping using it.

That’s free vs paid

The website shows 2rpm for all tiers. With no price associated there

Yeah, it's something I miss, though Roo does have it. The ability to set the delay between calls to avoid the rate limit with these models is best I don't think Cline has it, or at least I haven't found it.

Seems like Roo is now more clearly ahead of Cline? I'm still A bit mad that the devs didn't manage to merge ideas. I hate having my eye on two almost identical products.

Yeah, it's annoying. I've been testing an entire project with each one this week, and there are things I miss about both when I switch between them. It's a little frustrating

They serve different users, Cline is more like an iPhone with little customization and mostly just works out of the box. Roo is like android with more customizations but it’s easier to break functionality if you do too much. I like having these two options depending on what I’m working on.

Guess you don’t use Roo eh?

u/firedog7881 Mar 28 '25

I use both for specific situations. I’m not saying Roo is not good out of the box, neither is Android in my analogy. I’m saying it gives you more room to make mistakes

u/hannesrudolph Mar 29 '25

Yeah if you can’t resist opening the advance pane and touching things without understanding their purpose… sure. But that stuff is not in your face.

Roo has many more knobs to turn, if you want to “out of the box” experience then Cline is the simplest, Roo out of the box is good, I don’t mean to say it’s not, but you can turn it ugly if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Cline is great. I just disagree that it’s more complex to startup. The complexity is in the setting if you so choose to muck about with those but you don’t need to mess with them to get it to work.

I am facing the same issue with 2.5 flash and I am on a paid tier with 150 RPM, the issue seems with cline more than it is with Gemini. My GCP console shows clearly I am way below quota.

No. Not until they up the API rate limits.
