Rate & usage limits ● livestructure only

This provider doesn't publish numeric request/token limits on its docs — only the usage-tier structure below. Your actual limits appear in your account dashboard.

Tier Notes
Free Active project or free trial; no spend-based rate limits
Tier 1 Set up billing account; $10 spend-based limit per 10 minutes; $250 billing tier cap
Tier 2 Paid $100 + 3 days from first payment; $200 spend-based limit per 10 minutes; $2,000 billing tier cap
Tier 3 Paid $1,000 + 30 days from first payment; $200 spend-based limit per 10 minutes; $20,000–$100,000+ billing tier cap

Numeric RPM, TPM, and RPD limits are not published on this page; actual limits are only viewable per-project in AI Studio dashboard. Rate limits vary by model and are automatically updated based on usage tier. Priority inference gets 0.3x standard rates. Batch API has separate concurrent request (100), file size (2GB), and enqueued token limits per model and tier.

Per the page: a "deprecation" is the announcement that a model is no longer supported and will be "shut down" soon; once "shutdown", the endpoint is completely turned off and no longer available. Shutdown dates are the earliest possible retirement dates; exact dates are communicated separately. Status here reflects the page's version label (GA / Preview / Experimental); items with a shutdown/retirement date are marked Deprecated, and those with "No shutdown announced" are Active. Dates printed exactly as on the page; release dates given as "Released On". Some preview/experimental rows have no release date listed on the page.
