our usage of gemini is very limited. using 2.5 flash or similar models. at a hackathon in bay area i used the api key in my google app script. from that day my usage overshot to insane amounts.Google started charging y card every 30 mins or so. Google support said they will help significantly waive this off but they havent been swift. any one else experienced anything similar?
Yeah, api useage
But I figure they would just say “no” when you exhaust the tokens you have
Unlimited billing is the main reason I will never sign up to use Google or Amazon cloud services, as I use them for other things I wouldn't want to lose access to in the event of chargebacks, etc. Cloud services signup terms are basically legal authorization for them to monetarily charge you for the result of someone else running a script. It would be very easy for these companies to implement settings for hard financial limits, but yet they refuse.
Exactly. I use this stuff at work, but why would I ever risk this for my own stuff ?
update -- been over 5 days and google has just kept pushing their time lines. saying it needs cross team evaluation. I had similar experience with AWS and they were swift to give back credits to us. this tells me some serious issues with google and their org structure if this 2500$ is taking them a long long time to decide and involves cross functional teams. or maybe they have many more such incidents and adding up many more $$ or this is the 1st of its kind and are now putting an SOP. any one from google here?
