Hi Support Team,
IMy account is restricted to generating “AQ.” keys.  in Google AI Studio.
I have tried:
Creating keys in multiple existing projects
Creating with another new Google accounts
Deleting and regenerating keys
None of these attempts produce an AIza prefix key.
I would like to request a review to restore my ability to generate standard “AIza” keys
Thank you!

We are moving away from Traffic keys (Alza) and towards a more secure Authentication Key (AQ). AI Studio will now only generate Authentication Key (AQ) keys. More information on key usage can be found in the Using Gemini API keys documentation.
Please submit any compatibility issues with services / SDKs etc. in this form for our engineering team to review. Thanks!
