TL;DR

The issue is likely due to exceeding the rate limit for the Gemini API, resulting in a 429 "Too Many Requests" error, and a premature close error is also occurring.

Guidance

  • Verify the API request rate to ensure it's within the allowed limits.
  • Check the error message "Premature close" and the associated stack trace to identify potential issues with the API connection.
  • Review the gemini-client-error-Turn.run-sendMessageStream-2026-04-30T13-56-35-559Z.json file for more detailed error information.
  • Consider implementing exponential backoff or retry mechanisms to handle rate limit errors.

Notes

The issue may be related to the specific API endpoint or the client version (0.39.1) being used.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround, such as implementing rate limiting or exponential backoff, to mitigate the 429 error and premature close issue, as the root cause is likely related to the API request rate.
