Consumer suspended

[w013nad]

It seems google has caught on to this. My API key has been suspended and it looks like a couple others have too.

C:\Users\Nick>curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"contents\":[{\"parts\":[{\"text\":\"Write a story about a magic backpack\"}]}]}" -X POST https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-pro:generateContent?key=API_KEY
{
  "error": {
    "code": 403,
    "message": "Permission denied: Consumer 'api_key:<API_KEY' has been suspended.",
    "status": "PERMISSION_DENIED",
    "details": [
      {
        "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.ErrorInfo",
        "reason": "CONSUMER_SUSPENDED",
        "domain": "googleapis.com",
        "metadata": {
          "service": "generativelanguage.googleapis.com",
          "consumer": "projects/993395320710"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Dang, you're right.
For now, I just registered a new API key - it seems that Google is banning the key, not the account :)

Oh no. I'm out (temporary ip ban). Getting this from the API now:

Sorry...
We're sorry but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now. See https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/86640 for more information.

Several hours have passed, and the ban still hasn't been appealed. Using VPN/proxy now.

Yeah, the same thing is happening to me. Got an error 403.

Fixed by regenerating API keys as per #6 (comment)

Update

After few hours of running:

{
  "error": {
    "code": 429,
    "message": "Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota).",
    "status": "RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED"
  }
}

Unable to generate new APIs. Getting: The caller does not have permission.

I solved this by using another browser that had not logged into the Google AI platform yet. I used Firefox first, got the "The caller does not have permissions" error. Logged into Chrome, and generated a new key. We will see how long it lasts if they are banning them.

Tried with several browsers. Doesn't work for me.
