Google AI Studio can claim Developer Program Cloud credits in-product; the Gemini API is not available in every region

This item follows Google’s official blog post of the same date. It is not a test by 全民AI, and it is not a 全民AI announcement. The post does not list the monthly credit amount for each plan, and local subscription prices were not checked here. This item does not test the claim flow, and it does not claim that every account will see the entry at once.

On 13 November 2026 Google said Google Developer Program Google Cloud credits can be set up for billing, claimed each month, and tracked by balance inside Google AI Studio, without leaving that workspace to finish this part of the process. The post says these monthly credits are already included in Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra, that the grant scales with plan tier, that each monthly grant is valid for 12 months from issue and can roll over from month to month, and that only the primary plan subscriber can use them; they cannot be shared with family members.

For Gemini API use with Cloud billing, the official page requires a US$5 minimum prepayment and balance before promotional credits can be drawn down.

On regional lists checked the same day: Google’s Google AI Pro and Ultra availability lists include Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. The Google AI Studio and Gemini API available-regions list includes Taiwan and does not list Hong Kong or Macau. Whether the in-Studio claim flow can be completed in those places still depends on age, plan and billing conditions, and it was not tested here.
