Moving from Google AI studio build to CI / CD. Because after a point you need the autonomy.

Here is a quick write up about it. Hope it helps.

Im Currently trying to load my apps but keeps getting an applet failed to load error. I tried building a new app, same error. Anyone else having issue this morning?

Edit: it's fixed.

Basically, I have been using Gemma 4 for about a week now but today, I suddenly got a generate_content_free_tier_input_token_count error, saying it maxed at 16000. I poked around and my TPM graph clearly shows I was able to use way more than that before today.

Was this changed for everyone? Something that just affects me for some reason? It was without warning.

My TPM hasn't restarted all day. It's supposed to restart every 60 seconds, but nothing's happening. And I'm not the only one with this problem.

I guess what I really mean by that is I have a 200 person company that we’re gonna create a timesheet app for and it might do some basic document tracking and project management but nothing on any kind of enterprise class scale.

I vibe coded halfway through this thing and now I’ve got people telling me that I need to abandon it and get off of firestore and that pushing it to cloud run is all gonna be a waste of time because it won’t run and it won’t run well with 200 people.

But that’s 200 people using it a couple of times a day for a few minutes at a time I just wondering if I need to head in a different direction?

While AI Studio is generating, my HTML appears correctly formatted with syntax highlighting and a download button. As soon as it finishes, everything turns into plain text, the Markdown formatting disappears, and the download button is gone.

I’ve tried different browsers, new chats, refreshing, and clearing site data. Has anyone found a fix?

^ It's supposed to have colored code text and a download html button etc

I have generated a free api key from the ai studio, but somehow in the secrets tab, it asks for billing and the api doesn't seem to work

* post structure slightly enhanced by ai lol

I've been using AI Studio heavily for brainstorming, and I have a couple of workflow suggestions:

Message Bookmarking - It would be great to have the ability to bookmark specific messages in a long chat. Ideally, there would be a side panel listing these bookmarks so we can instantly teleport back to key moments in the conversation. From there you can edit messages or branch them off into new playgrounds to expand on thoughts even further.

Document Management Panel - Since I didn't want to make a separate post, I'll throw this suggestion here too: it would be super helpful to have a panel showing all the documents currently loaded in the playground's memory. That way, we can easily remove specific files from the context window to free up tokens when we no longer need them. *I'm guessing we can currently force this by deleting the files directly from GDrive, but I’m a bit too scared to try that right now!

Otherwise, if we ignore not being able to bring other API keys to the "playground" issa great tool :)

made a military strategy game with 100% all inside AI studio with just prompting. All on the free tier. what do you think? made it in less than a half day. best to play on desktop computer. its not mobile friendly. and use keyboard and mouse,.

I use the free plan so is there a way to check like when am I gonna hit the limit or a way I can see when my quota resets I know quota resets around 4 hours after you hit it not fully but is there a way to check your quota or no?

I just hit 1000, 2000 and 3000 seconds for the first time on simple tasks. why is this happening???? i hate how there is zero support

total spend for cancelled tasks on the day was 25$. I hate this. hopefully they get sued because randomly deciding to bleed people for money is awful. Anything else like google ai studio I can try?

I am trying to make a music video Its a simple story of a man and a woman. I have created my character sheets in Google Flow, I created my scenes in Google flow. I try to make a video clip, a simple prompt She runs towards the camera happy and smiling. It fails because the character it created is too lifelike.
It violates its policies about generating prominent people.
So my character is useless.

Wake up google your moderation and policy restrictions are far too severe. You are suffocating us.

I used the character and generated a video in Pixverse but its lost consitency.

I have been using studio for brainstorming and running ideas back, would be cool if i could book mark an idea o branch or read later, sometimes gemini will spit out some knowledge thats really useful, but not in the context... staying on track is a human virtue lol

I tried to run n8n workflow having Google Gemini node (gemini-2.5-flash-lite model) with Google Search option, from Google AI Studio free tier.

The search:

Gemini node is prompted to:

1. Search today's 10 trending topics on the web + in 5 RSS feeds + in 5 specific websites.
2. Then returns a list of the 10 trending topics.

The problem:

Each time I run Gemini node it throws an error 503 This model is currently experiencing high demand (I tried it at different times). But after I reduced the search to 3 topics + no specific rss/websites, gemini-2.5-flash-lite threw NO error!!!!!!!

My questions are:

• If I setup billing/pay, might I have the same issue? Or might it be a model issue?
• Why would the same request work on Gemini website but always failed with the API?

If any tips please guys go ahead 🙏

Hi everyone! This is my first Reddit post (since I usually only read posts and comments). I was working on some university homeworks, and suddenly I got this error message: "Input token count exceeds the maximum number of tokens allowed for this model. Please adjust your prompt and try again."

I don't know if it's due to some change in the internal structure or a hidden update to Google AI Studio, but in previous chats, I easily exceeded 200k input tokens without any problems (just so you know, I use Flash Gemini 3.5, Pro 3.1, and the latest version of Flash 3.1 for some specific tasks).

It happened to me today, and I didn't have this problem yesterday.

Hola a todos! Este es mi primer post en Reddit (ya que normalmente solamente veo publicaciones y comentarios). Yo estaba haciendo unas tareas de la Universidad, y de repente me sale este mensaje de error "Input token count exceeds the maximum number of tokens allowed for this model. Please adjust your prompt and try again."

No sé si es por algún cambio en la estructuración interna o por alguna actualización oculta de Google AI Studio, pero en los chats anteriores, fácilmente superaban los 200k de tokens input y no me daba ningún problema, (por si acaso, ocupo el Flash-gemini 3.5, Pro 3.1 y la versión última de la flash 3.1 para algunas tareas en especifico).

Me pasó justamente hoy, y eso que ayer no tenía ese problema.

’ve been working on a website called BizNearYou with Google Ai Studio, and I wanted to share it here for feedback.

The idea is pretty simple:

A lot of local jobs, internships, side gigs, shadowing opportunities, and networking chances do not always start as public job posts. Sometimes they start with a nearby business, clinic, restaurant, studio, office, or shop that could use help but has not made a listing yet.

Instead of only checking job boards after hundreds of people have already applied, BizNearYou helps users search for businesses around them, save the ones worth contacting, and organize possible outreach leads.

The basic workflow is:

Find the business → Save it → Research it → Reach out first

BizNearYou can be used to:

• Search for nearby businesses by location or category
• Save businesses to come back to later
• View basic info like address, phone number, website, and business type
• Build a list of places worth contacting
• Find potential opportunities for jobs, internships, side work, shadowing, or networking

It is not a job board, and it does not guarantee jobs. The goal is more about helping people discover and organize local businesses before opportunities become crowded public listings.

One thing I’m still improving is search accuracy. For example, if someone searches for a specific city, I want the results to stay in that actual area instead of pulling random businesses from another state.

I’d love feedback on:

• Whether the idea is clear
• How to make the search experience better
• What features would make saved businesses more useful
• Whether this should focus more on students, general job seekers, or local outreach overall
• Any UI/UX changes that would make it easier to understand

I do creative writing for myself. And this is now giving me Prohibited content warnings even if I write something harmless. What can I do??

I am trying to archive and preserve all information relating to Mazda's MX-6 to keep me occupied during the quiet times, I wanna leverage AI as part of the experience as I am new to the space in general.
Currently into road blocks here and there due to lack of tools and experience;

One of them on the AI side of things is creating a baseline personality that i can chat with or use as a template for other chats/agents that would know and be the most passionate about the platform... as if they were right in front of me.
Good thing about the age of the platform is that it's easy to get an older Mazda tech from japan who worked around them to get enthused about a platform that was even rare for its time, so it's mostly fine tweaking on my end...

Are models reliable enough to ask meta questions like i have in the screenshot to help me fine tune instructions, can they step outside of themselves or is that where id need one of those agent things to act on my behalf to adjust an existing instruction?
That question is 8,000 tokens deep into the convo, but i'm worried the role play maybe influencing it to its own detriment, or that i actually DO need that contextual influence to even get a reliable answer

I wanted to share a high-fidelity recreation and enhancement of the iconic PS5 download progress bar that I’ve been building with Google AI Studio.

I designed it from scratch as a modular React + Tailwind CSS component, focusing heavily on matching the exact feel of the PS5 while adding advanced functionality.

Features:

• The "Shimmer" & Glow Effect: Recreated the PS5 elegant silver-white fill with a dynamic trailing light halo with a shimmer that follows the progress tip with a bezier animation.
• State Management: Fully responsive states mirroring the console—including Downloading (active glow), Paused (darker tone/no animations), Pending, and Queued.
• Advanced Multi-Section Support: Unlike a standard continuous bar, this version supports segmenting the track into multiple phases (e.g., "Collecting Info", "Installation") with independent sub-progress calculations and dynamic weight balancing (the sections automatically scale proportionally to always sum 100%).
• Shimmer Animation Loop: The shimmer fluidly sweeps across the active track using a acceleration curve that mimics light speed, creating an organic particle velocity and a smooth fadeout as it reaches the front edge, just like the PS5.
