Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.119.1
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): n8n cloud
  • Operating system: Linux
2

Requests per minute (RPM)

Tokens per minute (input) (TPM)

Requests per day (RPD)

Clearly you exceed your limits in the sense on how many times you hit the server in a certain time.

3

but i have tried 3 more diffrent api keys associated with diffrent accounts

Click the link, read and you understand, otherwise here will get too long the topic.

Summary , based on your request

You have a limit per minute, token input minutte, per day , per project, and for tier as well.

You simply exceeded your quota , and you can check your metrics in your account.

5

are you sure its not a problem with how n8n works with gemini’s rest api?

EDIT :

Just tried and it works as expected on my cloud version.

I will try use an HTTP instead the node.
