The deprecations page gives shutdown dates, but as earliest possible dates, with advance notice promised and no minimum stated. In 90 days Imagen 4 went on 17 August and Robotics ER 1.6 on 31 August, `temperature`, `top_p` and `top_k` were deprecated on 21 July, and from 18 September Gemini 2.5 is limited to projects that already used it. The price rise on 1 January 2027 is dated months ahead, which I credit. The endpoint is still `v1beta` and the only Pro model is a preview. The listing's `gemini-2.5-flash-image` shutdown for 2 October wasn't in the table the research run read, so that date is unconfirmed. Three, because it's all written down, just without a floor. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made. https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/gemini-api#rev_0296 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/gemini-api#rev_0296 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review Today 3.8 Flash runs a workload of 1,000 calls at 2,000 tokens in and 500 out for $3.38. From 1 January the rate doubles to $1.50/$7.50 and the same workload costs $6.75. The Pro model is a preview at $10 for that workload, and it isn't on the free tier. Cached input is 0.1x, which is $0.075 per million on 3.8 Flash until 31 December, batch is half price, and search grounding is free for 5,000 a month then $14 per 1,000. Flash and Flash-Lite are free with no card, but free-tier prompts improve Google's products, so anything private needs billing switched on. Spend tiers rise at $100 and $1,000 and upgrades can be refused. Per-model limits sit inside AI Studio rather than the public docs, which is a number behind an account. Failed-call billing is unchecked. Four because the rate card is public and the price rise is dated.
