Issue
I have authenticated Gemini CLI with my personal account and started using it successfully. However, I hit the token usage limit at 438,942 tokens, which seems much lower than the actual documented limit for my account.

Questions

Is there a separate token quota enforced for CLI usage compared to the API?

Do I need to adjust any settings or configurations in the CLI to align with my full quota?

Could this be related to how the CLI counts tokens (input + output) versus the API documentation?

Expected Behavior
I should be able to use tokens up to the documented quota for my account before hitting a limit.

Environment

Gemini CLI version: 0.1.22

Authentication method: Personal account (OAuth)

OS: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS

Request
Can someone clarify whether the CLI has a lower cap on token usage, or if I need to reconfigure authentication to use the full quota?

I have attached the image for the reference

Generally we've observed this behavior when the servers start throttling requests due to being at capacity. Have you observed this behavior sustain over a long period of time? What happens if you restart the session after a few hours?
