Gemini CLI Tips and Tricks for Agentic Coding

I had a terrible first impression with Gemini CLI a few months ago when it was released because of the constant 409 errors.

With Gemini 3 release I decided to give it another go, and now the error changed to: "You've reached the daily limit with this model", even though I have an API key with billing set up. It wouldn't let me even try Gemini 3 and even after switching to Gemini 2.5 it would still throw this error after a few messages.

Google might have the best LLMs, but its agentic coding experience leaves a lot to be desired.

I had to make a new API key. My old one got stuck with this error; it's on Google's end. New key resolved immediately.

and then loosing half a day setting up billing - with a limited virtual credit card so you have at least some cost control

For me, I had just set up a project and set billing to that. Making a second key and assigning the billing to that was instant; I got to reuse it.

I have sympathy for any others who did not get so lucky
