Google Gemini API policy finding
“When a Service is being offered for a fee, it is considered to be a paid Service (the " **Paid Services**"). Your access to Google AI Studio is a "Paid Service" even when it is offered free of charge, as long as the account you are using to access Google AI Studio has access to a Cloud Project with an associated and active [Cloud Billing account](https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/concepts) or is a Workspace enterprise account. Your access to Gemini API is a "Paid Service" only when accessing the API through a Cloud Project associated with an active billing account.”
