I've seen thread after thread of people getting immediate rate limit errors on the Gemini API, with no resolutions. So is this the answer? For whatever it's worth, Gemini itself says so — it could always be wrong about its own auth though, it's working from the same docs as us.

Gemini API Key Creation Missing Billing Project Specification
By

If you go to the Gemini console at https://

Gemini API Key Useless Without Default Billing Project
By
–
The Gemini API key also doesn't have any sort of default billing project. And with no billing project, you have no quota. And the free-tier rate limit for Gemini 2.5 Pro is 0. So correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this make the GEMINI_API_KEY worse than useless?
