Description
### Description of the bug:
I have a PRO account but keep getting 401 errors when trying to generate images.
API key works with curl for model listing, but fails for image generation.
Timeline:
- Feb 7: Created new API key → worked temporarily
- Feb 8-13: Normal usage (150-200 images/day)
- Feb 14: 401 error appeared
- Today: Still unable to generate any images
What I've tried:
- Multiple new API keys
- Both APIs enabled
- Different models (gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview, gemini-2.0-flash-exp-image-generation)
- New project
- Checked billing (active)
Please check if my account has been mistakenly flagged.
