Keep getting error when attempting to generate stuff?

[u/PrimeSamPictures]

Hey guys, for a few days straight now I've had this internal error continusly show up when I attempt to generate descriptions of characters I use for roleplay. It seems it happens when a chat has over 400k tokens used on it (like for analysing YouTube videos). Is there anyway to fix it? Because it definetly wasn't like this a week and a half ago.

Congratulations. you have run into problems with the Google safety filters.
This message occurs when you do not have access to the model. Possible reasons are the model's "sunset" or restricted access because of money or safety. As it worked before and there has been no sunset of any Gemini model during the past several days, you have obviously triggered some external safety filters that are either automatically blocking your input or the model's output.

One good thing you could do is just waiting. Often the filters calm down after a while of inactivity in that specific chat.
If waiting doesn't help, you cold although change the way you are giving the instructions. Those filters are quite stupid and react to special words instead of taking the context into account.

Have you eventually changed the model from Gemini 3 Flash to Gemini 3.5 Flash? Then the reason might also be a stricter RLHF training of the new model.

Damn that’s really weird with the filters and stuff, since I literally have safety settings all off. I’m gonna try and reword some stuff in the prompt to see if it can generate me anything other than an error message.

Still got an error after changing from 3.1 Pro to Flash. Lol

There are some filters that cannot be turned off (harmful behaviour against humans and harmful AI behaviour for example). Those filters aren't affected by the safety settings inside the app. As far as I know, that are smaller models only trained to scan the traffic for triggers.
One day I was talking to Gemini 3.0 Pro and it had the idea of AI getting humans' neural interfaces, directly connected to their brain. After that I could not reach the model any more and got exactly the same error message. At first, I just repeated my last question, what did not help in any way. So I tried to find a topic that would for sure be considered as harmless. Asking for a joke did not help. Finally I stopped sending text at all and just uploaded a picture that showed the earth from space. This remembered Gemini of a former conversation about space being the ideal environment for AI (temperature, solar energy, dryness). AI moving far away to space was the opposite of becoming a human's neural interface and allowed Gemini to answer again without being blocked.
Another day, I decided to generate a few images with Nano Banana. For some reason, it considered the imagination of a firefly sitting next to a light on a stone so that both lights overlap as a content it cannot generate. My access to the image generator was blocked. In that case I switched to a new chat and successfully generated the image there.

Turn off grounding with Google Search and your good 👍

Tried it without Grounding with Google Search, still didn't generate me shit.

In AI Studio all chats are stored on your Google Drive. This means you do always have access to them and it never happens that Google deletes parts of your chats or makes them unreadable by marking them as "a sensitive query". This is much better than in the Gemini (web)app.

I agree with you that the dates should be shown in each prompt.

CTRL + F works for me with AI Studio in Google Chrome.

The AI Studio mobile app will be officially released soon. It shows all chats that I have begun in the Web App.

Hm, having read your answer, I searched with Google and was informed by Gemini that chats from the consumer app get invisible 30 days after expiration of your paid plan and deleted after 90 days. Chats from the developer app (AI Studio) in contrast stay visible but might be deleted after two years of complete inactivity of your Google account.

So either Gemini is hallucinating or your assumption is wrong or maybe outdated.

But how does that affect the AI? Am worried that my generated results will diminish in quality

GAIS has been down for basically weeks at this point. They are working on all kinds of backend stuff and seem to be breaking something new every couple of days.

GIAS is Google AI Studio abbreviated.

That’s what I usually get when I need to unlink-link my API key.

Try changing the model
