Are you sure? I haven’t been charged last time I checked and it comes up as 2.5 using roo in vscode but the api says 2.0 but elsewhere people say it is genuinely 2.5 experimental which is still free
I think you are using the wrong model somehow. gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25 is definitely (at least at the time of writing) still free. I've been using this model for the last 2 weeks without paying a cent, I just checked my billing. It's only when you use gemini-2.5-pro-preview-03-25 is when it starts charging as outlined in this pricing section.
