Why does my Gemini API call use the free tier?, even though my api key is on a paid tier, resulting in me unable to use gemini pro from the api:
google.genai.errors.ClientError: 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED. {'error': {'code': 429, 'message': 'You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details.
