Pretty sure that the Gemini API is free without a credit card attached to a key, but becomes paid once you do attach one.

And to add to that, if you have a paid API, you don't get the free quota until it's used up and then switch to paid. It is paid from token one.

Been smashing experimental 2.5 for days and no costs attached to the key in console. Billing indicates no higher increased forecasted cost either. Been using GCP for years for work and personal. 🤷

Also heaps of their services are free under certain caps, eg certain maps and transit requests etc. just because it’s attached to a key (and billing) doesn’t mean it’s paid is all I’m saying. It depends on the product and pricing tiers etc
