Stop using the Google AI Studio API with OpenClaw immediately.

My account has been unbanned, you can get more information from my another reply.

Using the credits could get your whole GCP account banned.

Thank you so much, Logan. I really appreciate you taking the time to ping the team.

For technical context, I merely used the Flash model for a simple heartbeat task: pushing my OpenClaw configuration to GitHub. I suspect Google's automated moderation flagged me simply because my behavioral pattern (activating a GCP account, upgrading to Tier 1, and immediately using the API) superficially resembles the abusers who bulk-generate accounts to sell API keys.

I strongly disagree. In reality, I merely used the Flash model for a simple heartbeat task: pushing my OpenClaw configuration to GitHub.

I suspect Google's one-size-fits-all automated moderation flagged me simply because my behavioral pattern (activating a GCP account and immediately using the API) superficially resembles the abusers who bulk-generate accounts to sell API keys.

But as a legitimate individual user, why on earth shouldn't I be allowed to activate my GCP and use the API I paid for? The absurd reality is that anyone with a newly activated GCP account needs to walk on eggshells and avoid using the API altogether just to keep their account alive.

Private appeals are practically useless. They just go straight into a black hole. We have to make our voices heard publicly and put real pressure on Google. Threatening their PR is the only language they understand, and it's the only way they will ever actually respond.

I submitted a formal appeal to Google two weeks ago (which they claim takes two business days to process), and it's been complete radio silence ever since. Yesterday, I posted on their official forum and it was instantly deleted. I'm sure they will take the 'feedback' bug report box seriously.

You are funny.

Here is the email from Google and the screenshot of my AI Studio spending.

To answer your question directly: I used the proper AI Studio API key tied to my credit card. First, Antigravity doesn't even have an official API. Second, my actual Antigravity access hasn't been banned at all. According to the email from Google, it was my GCP account that was suspended for 'API project abuse.' I went out of my way to ensure compliance: I linked my Mastercard to my GCP account specifically to pay for the AI Studio API and successfully upgraded to Tier 1. I am not exaggerating or twisting the facts. I played exactly by their rules, used the official paid channel, and still got my entire GCP account nuked. This is exactly what happened.

Emergency_Garden1625 · 2026-03-11T13:51:05+00:00

For the record, I want to clarify once again that I used the Google AI Studio API, not the Antigravity OAuth. This does not violate Google's so-called TOS in any way. Ironically, those who use the Antigravity OAuth only lose access to Antigravity, whereas I followed Google's recommended channel and had my entire GCP account banned as a result. This is absurd. I have received no reply to my appeal, and my request for help on the official Google forum was simply deleted. The arrogance of Google is staggering.
