What happened?

I am a Google AI Pro subscriber and I am authenticated with my gmail into Gemini CLI on Google Cloud Shell.

However when I sign in I am shown this message Plan: Gemini Code Assist /upgrade

When I select /model I am not shown the pro models.

What did you expect to happen?

I expect to have Gemini 3 pro model access.

When I log in with the same gmail on my mac terminal, I can see the following accurate message. Plan: Gemini Code Assist in Google One AI Pro /upgrade

So looks like there is a bug when I do a Gmail Auth from within Cloud Shell.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to an authentication or authorization mismatch between the Gemini CLI on Google Cloud Shell and the user's Google AI Pro subscription, and a workaround may involve checking the authentication flow or trying a different authentication method.

Guidance

  • Verify that the Google AI Pro subscription is correctly linked to the Gmail account used for authentication on Google Cloud Shell.
  • Check the authentication flow in the Gemini CLI on Google Cloud Shell to ensure it is correctly handling the Google AI Pro subscription details.
  • Compare the authentication and authorization processes between the Gemini CLI on Google Cloud Shell and the Mac terminal to identify any differences that may be causing the issue.
  • Consider trying a different authentication method, such as using a different Gmail account or authentication token, to see if the issue persists.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not involve code, but rather an authentication and authorization issue.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Google Cloud Shell environment or the Gemini CLI version being used, and further investigation may be needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try a different authentication method or check the authentication flow to resolve the issue, as the root cause is likely related to authentication or authorization.
