Gemini Ultra Plan, pro usage error?

[RQZL]

What happened?

I'm paying for Gemini Ultra, but I'm getting a daily API exhaustion message around the free pro usage tier. I have barely cracked 90% usage left.

What did you expect to happen?

If I pay for Ultra access, I should hopefully not get a bug voiding my access.

I'm experiencing the exact same issue and honestly, this is incredibly frustrating.

I'm a paying Gemini Ultra subscriber and yet I'm being hit with API exhaustion errors as if I were on the free tier. What's the point of paying for a premium subscription if the service can't even distinguish between paying customers and free users?

This is completely unacceptable. We're paying for a premium experience and getting treated like we're freeloading. Google needs to fix this ASAP — this is a fundamental billing/authentication issue that should have been caught before release.

How is this still happening? Is anyone from the team actually looking into this?
