CRITICAL: Gcloud Auth issue requiring Code Assist subscription!

[MeteAvci]

Hi all,

I've been using and enjoying Gemini CLI for quite over a month. With the update pushed yesterday, now my experience just became a nightmare.

Error

API Error 403 PERMISSION_DENIED "You must be a named user on your organization's Gemini Code Assist Standard edition subscription to use this service…"

Expectation

As an individual Free Tier user, I expect the CLI to use the individual/personal flow (or the standard Gemini API) without requiring a Code Assist Standard/Enterprise “named user” license.

My attempts (on my machine)

• Fresh environment (new terminal), no GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT, no GOOGLE_API_KEY, no Vertex flags.
• Deleted user folder %USERPROFILE%.gemini
• Ensured no project-level .gemini/ folder under my repo
• Ensured no system-level C:\ProgramData\gemini-cli\settings.json
• gcloud auth revoke --all and cleared ADC as well
• gemini → “Login with Google” → personal Gmail.

Result: I still hit a Code Assist path and get the 403 above (requires "named user on Standard edition").

PLEASE FIX OR HELP ME FIX THIS.
