Does AI Studio has token daily usage limit like Gemini CLI?

Hi, I have experience using Gemini CLI and AI Studio.
Gemini CLI has daily free usage quota. Does AI Studio have the daily quota limit too? If yes, what is the daily quota?

    Hi Victor,

    A quick Google search gave me this info! Let me know if you still have questions :)

    Yes, Google AI Studio has daily quota limits, especially for free-tier users, and it also enforces rate limits for API access. However, usage for the free tier is typically generous enough for most general testing and experimentation.
    AI Studio free tier quotas
    The free tier for the Gemini API, accessed through AI Studio, has different limits depending on the model.
    Free daily limits for Gemini models include:
    Gemini 2.5 Pro: 100 requests per day (RPD), with a token count limit of 6 million input tokens.
    Gemini 2.5 Flash: General access.
    Image generation: Up to 100 images per day.
    How to check usage
    You can monitor API usage in AI Studio:
    Go to the API keys page in Google AI Studio.
    Select "View usage data" to see daily request data for each model.
    Limits for paid tiers
    Linking a billing account to a project moves it to a "Paid" plan, exceeding free tier limits. Calls to the Gemini API using the paid API key will be billable beyond the free limits.
    Paid tiers have higher limits with a different pricing structure. For example, the Gemini 2.5 Pro paid tier offers 1,500 requests per day for Grounding with Google Search.

    Hey, all those limits are for API usage only, AI Studio is free to use, no limits mentioned for it
