Using the Gemini CLI the first thing I tried to do was "Create GEMINI.md files to customize your interactions with Gemini." The command ran for about a minute before receiving a too many requests error.

Super weird! I've been using it the last week, and never hit the quota limit for free users. We're having some capacity issues right now, but that should not affect the quota. Would love it if you can try tomorrow or so again!

It's happening to me with API Key usage. I assume there are no Terms of Use protections on our data unless we access Gemini CLI in a paid manner?

     [API Error: {"error":{"message":"{\n  \"error\": {\n    \"code\": 429,\n    \"message\": \"Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota).\",\n    
  \"status\": \"RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED\"\n  }\n}\n","code":429,"status":"Too Many Requests"}}]
    Please wait and try again later. To increase your limits, request a quota increase through AI Studio, or switch to another /auth method

However, in the Google cloud console I don't see any of the quotas going above their default limits.

Yeah this exact thing is happening to me also. Minutes of runtime and only errors. I guess I’ll try again later? I have billing up and I’m Tier 1. Wouldn’t expect to hit limits like this on the first prompt.

Same here. I wish API users got priority over free Google account users...Guess I will wait until ~5pm when people go home for the day to try it.
