What happened?

The Gemini CLI incorrectly identifies my Gemini Ultra (Google One AI Premium) subscription as "Gemini Code Assist in Google One AI Pro".

Furthermore, the detected usage limit is only 200 requests, which seems like a restricted or legacy tier, as even standard Pro users should have much higher daily quotas.

Details from /stats model:

  • Tier: Gemini Code Assist in Google One AI Pro
  • Usage limit: 200
  • Auth Method: Signed in with Google (Personal OAuth)

Troubleshooting already performed:

  • Completely removed the ~/.gemini/ directory and re-authenticated
  • Verified that no GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT or GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variables are set
  • The issue persists across multiple machines and clean installations.

System Info:

  • CLI Version: 0.43.0-preview.1
  • Node.js: v22.22.0
  • OS: Linux (Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, kernel 6.14.0-36-generic)

What did you expect to happen?

The CLI should correctly identify my subscription as Gemini Ultra and provide the corresponding quota (expected ~2,000 requests per day). At the very least, it should not be capped at 200 requests, which is lower than the free tier limits.
