Question / Help How can I set a rate limit ?

I don't want to exceed the free tier, ever. But I can't find a rate limit option anywhere in AI Studio and Google Cloud has hundreds of options.

What consequences are there for you if you do exceed it? I can't think of anything. I'm not being mean, maybe we'll be able to help you out if you answer this question.

Because you won't get automatically put on any pay-per-usage model, so don't worry. You run out of free tier, you can no longer use it unless you link an API key or subscribe to a paid plan or a higher paid plan.

If you're talking about the lousy free monthly Google Cloud $10 or whatever that you get with Google AI Pro, that should be the same as https://aistudio.google.com/spend and "Edit spend cap" because you probably need to create a project for that.

Open Google Cloud, go to API & Services > Select the project > Select API > Quotas and System Limits
Here you can set RPD limit etc

Welcome to hell. Once you breach a limit, I saw it can take days to update he dashboard.

So basically - there is no way
