# Google AI Studio (Gemini)

## I keep hitting rate limits!

Gemini models, particularly those that are still in preview, have **punishingly low** rate limits for users on the free tier when using your own keys. The exact limits dictated by Google AI studio are published at <https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits>. To work around these limits we suggest either:

* Using Gemini models with [AI credits](https://docs.relay.app/ai/ai-credits) from Relay.app. We have access to a higher tier of service that enables us to offer increased rate limits for our customers
* Upgrading your own Gemini account to a higher tier of service. This requires a minimum spend and escalating to Google's support team via the form at: <https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits#request-rate-limit-increase>
