How to fix Gemini disabled on Antigravity IDE and restore access?

You’re blocked from Antigravity IDE and Gemini Code Assist with a 403, even though your Google account still works elsewhere. The error says Gemini is disabled for a Terms of Service violation, and Antigravity shows an account setup failure.

How to fix Gemini disabled on Antigravity IDE and restore access?

You may see one or both of these messages:

• “There was an unexpected issue setting up your account. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please try again later.” (Antigravity IDE sign-in/setup)
• “Cloud Code Assist API error (403): Gemini has been disabled in this account for violation of Terms of Service.”

This usually means your account was flagged by automated safeguards. Antigravity relies on Gemini Code Assist; if Gemini is disabled for your account, Antigravity sign-in and coding features are blocked too.

Subject: Appeal: Gemini Code Assist disabled (403) on Antigravity IDE

Hello Gemini Code Assist team,

My personal Google account is receiving:
- Antigravity IDE: "There was an unexpected issue setting up your account. Please try again later."
- Gemini/Cloud Code Assist: "Cloud Code Assist API error (403): Gemini has been disabled in this account for violation of Terms of Service."

Details:
- Google Account Email: <your-address@gmail.com>
- Approx. Date/Time and Time Zone: <e.g., 2026-03-28 10:30 PT>
- IDE: Antigravity IDE
- What I was doing: <brief steps>
- I use this for personal development and I will follow all Terms of Service.

Could you please review and restore access, or advise what I need to correct?

Thank you.

• Expect delays: community reports indicate responses can take several days. Be patient and follow up if you don’t hear back in 5–7 business days.

For more context and examples of what to include, see this focused explainer: what to send when Gemini is disabled.

3) Try a clean login (rule out session/account-mix issues)

• Sign out of all Google accounts in your browser.
• Use a fresh browser profile or Incognito/Private window.
• Sign in with the single Google account you want to use with Antigravity and retry Antigravity IDE.
• Clear site data/cookies for the IDE site if you still see the setup error, then retry.

4) Optional: Test with a different Google account (temporary workaround)

• If you have a second personal account that hasn’t been flagged, try it in a clean browser profile.
• This won’t fix the primary account, but it can keep you moving while the appeal is processed.

5) Optional: If you’re on Google Workspace (org-managed)

• Check with your admin: Gemini Code Assist and related features might be restricted at the org level.
• Ask your admin to verify product availability and any policy blocks that could mimic a ToS disablement.
• Admin docs: start from the overview at Gemini Code Assist.

6) Track the case

• Create a calendar reminder to follow up on the email in 5–7 business days if you haven’t received a reply.
• Keep your evidence (errors, timestamps, screenshots) handy for any back-and-forth.

Alternative Fixes & Workarounds

Use a different browser profile or machine

• Conflicting extensions, stale sessions, or mixed logins can trigger auth problems. A brand-new browser profile can quickly eliminate these variables.

Switch to a different account temporarily

• If your secondary account isn’t restricted, use it with Antigravity until your main account is cleared.

Continue with web Gemini only (non-IDE)

• If web Gemini still works for you, draft prompts and snippets there while the IDE-specific access is restored.

If you see “agent terminated” errors instead

• That’s a separate runtime issue. See this quick fix: resolve “agent terminated due to error” in Antigravity.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Age/region limits: Some Gemini features are unavailable in certain countries or for underage accounts; that can look similar to a block.
• Org policies (Workspace): Even if your personal account works, a Workspace account can be disabled by admin policy.
• Keep extensions in check: Ad blockers or privacy extensions can interfere with Google sign-in; try with them disabled.
• Stay within usage policies: Avoid prompts involving prohibited content (illegal activities, explicit content, etc.). Review the terms at Gemini API Terms.
• If all else fails: Open a general case at Google Cloud Support and reference your email appeal.

Best Practices

• Use a dedicated browser profile for Antigravity to avoid multi-login confusion.
• Document errors immediately (copy exact text + timestamp).
• Stay within ToS and usage policies; avoid edge-case prompts that can trigger automated flags.
• Keep Antigravity and any IDE plugins up to date to reduce auth and session issues.
• Act quickly if flagged: file the appeal right away and avoid repeated retries that can add noise to logs.

Final Thought

The fastest path is simple: email gemini-code-assist-user-feedback@google.com with the exact errors and a brief compliance statement, then try a clean login while you wait. This restores most accounts once reviewed and keeps your Antigravity workflow on track.
