TLDR: I assumed the AI Pro plan covered API usage in external tools (VS Code/Android Studio), but I got billed immediately. Since I avoid the official extension, this was a surprise.
Good news! There is a $10/m GCP credit that helps offset this, but you have to manually enable it in.
I have since learned that *yes*, you get $10 monthly credits for Google Cloud to cover these costs - but you need to go into your GCP Billing Account and manually enable it. This is great and useful but I wish this had been applied automatically or at least shown as an option when setting up...
in my first day of trying this out. I used the Gemini 3 Pro model in both VS Code and Android Studio.
Why am I using these instead of the Gemini Code Assist extension (in VS Code)? I found it kind of slow and buggy and janky. I didn't really fit my productivity needs if it was going to be slow.
(once my trial ended) and get higher limits to Gemini (via VS Code Copilot and Gemini in Android Studio). I'm assuming this is how Copilot paid plans work, same with Claude, etc.
I wasn't expecting that I would be charged for my usage immediately. I didn't rack up a huge bill, only about $1 [...]
with some benefits for developers. Like using the Gemini Pro models in the Gemini app.
I won't outline all the features here, you can read through the features via that link. But I will say it's been a bit confusing trying to figure all this out.
I thought I'd pay monthly for Google AI Pro [...]
with limits. Of course I knew using a "paid" tier wouldn't necessarily give me unlimited access to Gemini Pro models but I thought I'd get a nicer limit.
Turns out this was *not* the case.
All the Gemini Pro features mentioned in the AI Pro plan are primarily "consumer" focused [...]
I'd like to admit, I was a bit bamboozled by Google's AI offerings. By looking at the features of "Google AI Pro" here: one.google.com/intl/en/abou...
I assumed that all the "higher limits" and "Gemini Code Assist" features meant that I could use my Gemini API Key in Copilot (VS Code) [...]
There was a moment in time when Apple cared about usability and legibility. Those were the times...
