Google AI Studio API Key Limits

Google AI Studio provides a generous free-tier API usage:

  • 15 requests per minute / 250,000 Tokens Per Minute; and
  • Approximately 1,000–1,500 requests per day per project

The limits are impose on per project, and not per API key. So, a typical free Google Cloud Console user can create about 5 to 10 projects, which means the maximum usage limits are 5 to 10 times of the known limit.
