 "free_terms": "Standing Gemini Developer API Free tier: standard input and output are marked free of charge for eligible models, subject to project-level RPM, TPM, RPD, and sometimes model-specific IPM or TPD limits. RPD resets at midnight Pacific time. Google no longer publishes one guaranteed numeric quota table: active limits vary by model, project tier, and account status and must be viewed in AI Studio; specified limits are not guaranteed. Google AI Studio usage is free of charge in available regions.",
 "signup": "required; a Google account, an active project, and a Gemini API key are required, and the Additional Terms require users to be 18 years of age or older",
 "card": "not required for the Free tier; linking an active billing account is the qualification for paid Tier 1",
 "region": "Available only in Google's listed supported regions. The Additional Terms state that API Clients made available to users in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom may use only Paid Services, although unpaid Gemini API quota and AI Studio access can otherwise be offered there under the stated special data terms.",
 "data_treatment": "For Unpaid Services, Google uses submitted content and generated responses to provide, improve, and develop Google products, services, and machine-learning technologies; human reviewers may read and annotate them. In the EEA, Switzerland, and UK, the Paid Services data-use terms apply even to free-of-charge access.",
 "clock": "Google states no end date for the Free tier. Requests per day quotas reset at midnight Pacific time, and Google states that rate limits are subject to change.",
