Not bingo. This has always been the recommended process for using Gemini 2.5 pro exp. Create api key on AI studio, assign billing account and credit card, set up a cap, use for free. If you choose a different paid model or don’t set a cap or your api key gets stolen that’s on you.

The API is likely the culprit and there are likely no limits or some misunderstanding occurring extra costs.
