I get 'You exceeded your current quota' even though I have 84% context left on Pro Plan.
What happened?
I get 'You exceeded your current quota' even though I have 84% context left. I also got this from the beginning using Gemini-cli. I'm stuck now on a paied pro plan. I got this after upgrading last 2 releases.
What did you expect to happen?
I would like to use Gemini-CLI.
