Google AI Studio Build Agent Hits Quota Errors Despite Showing Zero Usage Metrics
The Build Agent in Google AI Studio currently stalls for me, displaying a “Quota exceeded. Please try again later” error while my usage metrics remain at zero. While the application runs without issue, the agent declines to process any requests.
The exact issue
Each attempt to launch the Build Agent results in failure. Two distinct errors emerge:
- Primary error: “Quota exceeded. Please try again later.”
- Secondary error: “Encountered retryable error from model provider: Agent execution terminated due to error.”
Strangely, the Rate Limit page appears empty. I operate on the Free tier without any billing setup, and my Antigravity stats read:
- RPM: 0 / 60
- TPM: 0 / 100K
- RPD: 0 / 100
Project details for reference
The settings look accurate at first glance. To help cross-reference with logs, here are the relevant identifiers:
- App ID:
020025a0-5b03-41d1-8cb7-702a8bd565b0 - Project ID:
gen-lang-client-0046588…
Repeated retries produce identical outcomes. Given that the dashboard reports no consumption against the 60 RPM or 100 RPD limits, this points toward a hidden quota or backend routing glitch unreflected in the Gemini API Rate Limit dashboard.
Does the Build Agent have a separate execution cap, or is this a project entitlement bug? If others have faced these “retryable errors” while showing zero usage, please explain your resolution.

I’m frustrated because this issue hit me last Tuesday, and it feels like the "Quota exceeded" bug is a persistent problem for many users—though, oddly, my usage stats show zero activity while the agent keeps failing. The Build Agent in Google AI Studio consistently stalls with the same error, even after retries.
I want to try this tonight. Before that, check the Build Agent logs for the primary error “Quota exceeded. Please try again later.” Does the quota error persist if you switch to a different API key?
Frustrating as hell—I've run into the same “Quota exceeded” message when the Build Agent stalls, and even checking the Rate Limit page (which shows nothing) didn’t resolve it. Does that error happen on Gemini 1.5 Pro or only when you switch to Flash?
