While using the latest version of Cursor with the Gemini API for coding and the “Select Ask” feature, I encounter the following error message:
“User API Key Rate limit exceeded (Gemini has currently low rate limits for user API keys for the 2.5 Pro model; consider not using a user API key for this model, or switching to a different model).”
Despite this, the Google Console shows my requests as within acceptable limits.
Steps to Reproduce
- Use Cursor with the Gemini API.
- Enable coding and the “Select Ask” feature.
- Observe the error message regarding rate limits.
