| Free tier | ended: Gemini CLI stopped serving the free Gemini Code Assist for individuals route on June 18, 2026, and free individual access moved to Antigravity CLI unit none; metered on none; the quota page on geminicli.com still lists the individual tier at 1,000 requests per user per day and the Gemini API key tier at 250 requests per user per day, Flash only; the repository README and the vendor's transition post state the end of the free individual route |

| Limits | - request-rate (binding) no free requests served on the individual route since 2026-06-18; the quota page still prints 'Gemini Code Assist (Individual) | 1,000 requests' per user per day source
|
|---|
| Binding | request-rate nothing is served on the free individual route, so the last listed ceiling, a daily request count, is moot |
|---|
| Identity | email a personal Google account; the authentication page lists 'Individual Google accounts | Sign in with Google | No, with exceptions' for the Google Cloud project requirement. Any phone check at Google account creation is unverified |
|---|
| Egress | not published |
|---|
| Interface | cli gemini -p runs the agent headless and prints JSON or JSONL; headless mode reuses a cached Google OAuth credential |
|---|
| Tooling | gemini CLI in headless mode: gemini -p PROMPT --output-format json |
|---|
| Composes with | nothing chains on the free route; the successor route is recorded at coding-subs/antigravity and the Gemini API key route at inference/google-gemini-api |
|---|
| Reliability | the geminicli.com quota page still lists the individual tier while the repository README and the vendor post say it moved, so that page overstates what is served |
|---|
| Notes | The Gemini API free tier is a separate route (inference/google-gemini-api). The transition post names paid API keys for the CLI that remains, so whether an unpaid Gemini API key still works inside the CLI is unverified. |
|---|
| Evidence note | documented the end date is stated by the vendor's transition post and by the repository README; no request was made because the route needs an account |
|---|
| Parsed numbers | - request-rate 1000 requests
