Resource Exhaustion Errors (429) when using grounding via google_search tool

[AA-Ron47382892]

I am on a paid plan and have been using the grounding feature with gemini-2.0-flash (

config["tools"] = [{"google_search": {}}]). It was working fine all day and then I got a solid wall of 429s. Figured I must have hit a quota but I'm not even close on any of them.

So I looked for any documentation I could find on limits for grounding and found this

I'm on a pid plan so I don't understand why I wouldn't just start incurring charges if I go over 1,500 RPD. 

I can confirm nothing has changed in my code and non grounding calls continue to work fine.
