What happened?

Attempt 2 failed with status 429. Retrying with backoff... _GaxiosError: No capacity available for model gemini-2.5-pro on the server.

Auth Method: Signed in with Google Tier: Gemini Code Assist.

The tool is unusable as all queries to the code assist apis fail. The cli gives no warning of that, and simply shows "Thinking" with a spinner.

I am very far from reaching usage limits.

Are there plans to fix this? We are constrained to go to another tool.

What did you expect to happen?

The tool to work.

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to wait for the server to have available capacity for the model gemini-2.5-pro or consider switching to a different tier or model.

Guidance

  • Verify the current usage limits and tier configuration to ensure it's not a usage limit issue, despite the user's claim of being "very far from reaching usage limits".
  • Check the official documentation or support channels for any known issues or planned fixes for the "No capacity available" error on the Gemini Code Assist tier.
  • Consider testing with a different model or tier to see if the issue persists, which could help determine if it's a model-specific or tier-specific problem.
  • Reach out to the support team or community forums for further assistance, as the issue seems to be related to server capacity rather than a client-side configuration issue.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to server capacity, and the user has already tried different versions (0.36 and 0.37) without success. The fact that the user is signed in with Google and using the Gemini Code Assist tier might be relevant to the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Consider switching to a different tier or model temporarily until the issue is resolved, as the error message suggests a capacity issue with the current model.
