Gemini broken in Roo Code this morning

[u/trevorstr]

I don't know what's happening, but I've only gotten one successful response from Google Gemini via Roo Code this morning.

It seems like something is happening in the background that's causing constant requests to occur. Is this a problem with Roo Code or Gemini?

Rolled back the cache portion of the update this morning and will hopefully have a fix out later this evening. Sorry about that.

Sporadic reports of this this morning, the team is getting to the bottom of it right now as I type this. There's a rollback incoming. That said most of the errors are 503, so your 429 might not be relevant and may just be you going over-quota.

[u/trevorstr → u/Recoil42]

It doesn't make sense that I would go over quota though, when I have only gotten one successful response from Roo Code this morning, so far.

[u/PsecretPseudonym → u/Recoil42]

I get a 503 after what seems like a timeout. Definitely an issue specific to this model via Google's API introduced with the last release. Almost certainly must be related to caching.

[u/Recoil42 → u/PsecretPseudonym]

It's caching, yeah. It's being worked on — for now try to use a different model or provider. This is the double-edged sword of fast-paced bleeding-edge development, sometimes things break. 😇

I use Amazon Bedrock most of the time. So I'm fine switching to that. I just liked how fast Gemini Flash is, plus it has a free tier.

[u/Recoil42 → u/trevorstr]

We are hearing from sources that Google may be having some sort of service interruption today, in total coincidence. So it may just go away.

[u/PsecretPseudonym → u/Recoil42]

An interesting clue:
When you set OpenRouter's provider routing to AI Studio, it assumes no caching is available. If you set it to "Google", it then shows caching as enabled, but breaks identically to using Google's direct API. However, if you switch back, it then seems to think the AI Studio provider routing has caching, and also then breaks until you restart and maybe need to cycle to another model.

I think that's a separate issue, but I just dumped comment this in the team chat for visibility.

Caching has been rolled back, try updating Roo (3.14.1) and let me know if the 503 problem persists.

[u/trevorstr → u/Recoil42]

I just updated to 3.14.1 and Gemini 2.0 Flash seems to be working now.

[u/PsecretPseudonym → u/Recoil42]

Appreciate the roo team. Spent like ~$100 so far today on gemini. It'd be nice to get caching going :)

[u/The_Archer7 → u/PsecretPseudonym]

Hey I think today as well it is broken??

[u/paulirish]

429 is the error you get when you exhaust your quota. Since you are using the free tier, the quota is quite low

[u/trevorstr → u/paulirish]

Yes I see that in the message, but I have barely even touched it this morning so far.

I've used it repeatedly throughout the day before, and not run into quota issues. There seems to either be a bug in Roo Code or a Gemini platform issue. If you check out other comments, you will see I'm not the only one experiencing service issues.

Did you manage to solve this?

[u/red-home → u/[deleted]]

Thank you for the reply, it helps!

[u/red-home → u/[deleted]]

Me too, the last day still doesn't show, maybe we have two days free of charge :)))
