Thanks for your clarification. I've been able to set up Gemini CLI with my Workspace account.

Just a heads-up: your docs about authentication on Github say to place a GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT_ID as an environment variable. However, what the Gemini CLI is actually looking for, from what I can tell, is a GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT environment variable with the name of a project (rather than its ID). You might want to fix that discrepancy between code and docs, because it might confuse other users as well.

I don’t know what constraints made you all require a project ID or name to use the Gemini CLI with Workspace accounts. However, it would be far easier if this requirement were eliminated.

sorry, I was wrong about free tier - I've edited above. this is WIP.

noted on documentation, there's a PR in flight on this. also found some confusion around gmail users who are part of the developer program hitting issues.

> free tier for Workspace isn't yet supported. sorry. you need to set the project and pay.

Well, I've just set up Gemini CLI with a Workspace account project in the free tier, and it works apparently for free. Can you explain whether billing for that has simply not been configured yet, or where exactly billing details can be found?

For reference, I've been using this panel to keep track of my usage in the free tier of the Gemini API, and it has not been counting Gemini CLI usage thus far: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/generativelanguage...

Unfortunately all of that is pretty confusing, so I'll hold off using Gemini CLI until everything has been clarified.

Maybe you have access to an AI solution for this.
