For what it’s worth when I see this error its always preceded with an error from Gemini saying the model is overloaded and to try again later. ```plaintext Message (13 copies reported) DiscourseAi::Completions::Endpoints::GeminiInteractions: status: 503 - body: {"error":{"message":"gemini-3.8-flash is currently experiencing high demand, spikes in demand are usually temporary.
