This is my billing after 3 days of using Google CLI. This almost $350

Yeah I think its quite interesting to see, where at the free subscription the limited resource is requests / prompts per minute / day, the currency switches when working with a more pro considered API key to tokens, which are used much faster especially in the early times of gemini-cli when it is getting stuck at a task etc. . This is where you need to be really careful.

Right now this difference in resource makes it really hard for me to get a Vertex AI setup with a key and switch away from the free tier.
