OS Version
macOS Tahoe 26.5.1 arm64
Description
Whenever I try to run the "ask about selected text" command, I get an error message saying "could not access gemini. You have been rate limited. Please slow down and try again". I am on their free plan using Gemini 3.0 flash, however, I am running the same model for all other commands like "AI chat" and "ask about selected screen area" and they work fine. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot welcome please, thank you!

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure in the Google Gemini extension with selected text, using the listed Raycast and macOS versions, and compare it with the working AI chat and selected-screen-area commands. Trace the selected-text command's request path and rate-limit response; done means that command handles the same free-plan Gemini model without the reported erroneous rate-limit error.
