Account not eligible for Gemini Code Assist.

Error message

Account not eligible for Gemini Code Assist.

What it means

During onboarding of the managed free-tier project, the Code Assist endpoint returned HTTP 403, which the provider maps to MissingAuthError('Account not eligible for Gemini Code Assist.'). A 403 at onboarding means Google rejected the account for the Code Assist program itself, so no amount of token refresh will help.

Solutions

1. Sign in with a different Google account that is eligible for Gemini Code Assist (re-run GeminiCLI.login)
2. If on Google Workspace, have the admin enable Gemini or Code Assist for the account
3. Set GEMINI_PROJECT_ID to an already-entitled project so onboarding is skipped
4. Verify region availability for Gemini Code Assist

from g4f.errors import MissingAuthError
try:
    await provider.generate_async(...)
except MissingAuthError as e:
    if "not eligible" in str(e):
        alert_operator("switch Google account or enable Code Assist for this one")
        # do not retry: eligibility will not change

When it happens

Trigger: onboard_managed_project receives response.status == 403 during any of its up-to-10 attempts; raised immediately, bypassing the remaining retries.

Common situations: Personal Google account in an unsupported region or workspace policy blocking Code Assist; Google Workspace admin disabled Gemini; account flagged; trying to use a paid-only account on the free-tier path (tier_id='free-tier').
