This is a known issue with Google Gemini AI Studio. Even when you're well within your own API limits, Google uses a shared capacity model that can cause rate limiting when other users are heavily using the same models.
This happens even with just one row because Google pools all AI Studio requests together, so you can hit their capacity constraints even if your personal account limits are much higher.
Try using our built-in Sculptor tool (top-right corner) to set up your enrichment - it might help optimize the configuration. Let me know if Sculptor helps or if you're still seeing the same issue!

Update the model rate limit is not valid for this enrichment

Got it - you can't adjust rate limits for Google Gemini enrichments because this is controlled by Google's shared capacity system, not something configurable in Clay.
The rate limiting happens on Google's end regardless of your API key limits, so there's no setting in Clay to change this.
Since you're still hitting issues, try using Sculptor (top-right corner) to rebuild your enrichment - it might help optimize the setup. Let me know if that helps or if you're still seeing the same rate limit errors! [1] [2]
