What did you expect to happen?

I got the message "Usage limit reached for gemini-3-flash-preview." with the choice of changing model "Switch to gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview " but I'm already on this model, and the message keep going on to display, no matter what I do.

TL;DR

The user may need to wait for the usage limit to reset or contact support to resolve the "Usage limit reached" issue for the gemini-3-flash-preview model.

Guidance

  • Verify that the model version is indeed gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview, as the error message suggests a different model.
  • Check if there are any usage limits or quotas associated with the oauth-personal auth type that may be causing the issue.
  • Consider reaching out to support for assistance with resolving the usage limit issue, as the error message does not provide a clear resolution path.
  • Review the exported chat history JSON file (if shared) to see if it contains any relevant information about the usage limit or error.

Notes

The issue may be related to the specific model or auth type being used, and without more information, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Contact support for assistance with resolving the usage limit issue, as the error message does not provide a clear resolution path.
