Google removes Gemini free tier limits from docs, restricts older models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Google has removed specific daily and per-minute request limits for its Gemini free tier from its public documentation. Users must now check Google AI Studio for their individual limits, which are enforced per project and reset at midnight Pacific time. The older Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite models are no longer available to new users, impacting access to free grounding features for newer sign-ups. AI
