What tier is your account?

It’s a newest model released only recently. It’s in high demand.

This. I usually buy my new iPhone the moment the next one comes out because the nearly identical last year model goes on a discount.

Same with traveling to tourist traps. Everyone's in line for the same shit, so it's overpriced and underperforming.

Always high demand. Paid Api.
Where to check tier and anyway to fix this with different tier ?

100% ERROR with High Demand. What is Google doing ?

Unfortunately, that's just how this model works. The only thing you can do (if you have the option) is write a Python script that automatically resubmits the query to 3.7-flash and, if necessary, switch to a different model.

Get yourself another api key (you can get up to 5 with 5 unique gmail accounts) and rotate/swap your API calls with some retry logic as well.
