    Hi @emaginance,

    Thanks for reporting this — it actually helped us catch a related bug in our fallback logic too.

    Quick clarification: the model list in Settings → AI Provider isn’t hardcoded — it’s fetched live from Google’s API and cached for 24 hours (there’s also a manual “Refresh model list” link if you don’t want to wait).

    What happened here: Google restricted gemini-2.5-flash for new accounts, but kept it listed in their models API for existing ones — so it still shows up as selectable even though a new API key can’t use it. On top of that, our automatic fallback model (used when your primary model fails) was hardcoded to that exact same model, so it didn’t help in your case either. Both of these are fixed and will ship in the next release (v1.9).

    v1.9 will also add:

    • A “Currently active model” readout in Settings, so you can always see exactly what’s saved — even if it’s no longer in Google’s list.
    • A warning notice if your selected model starts failing with “model not found,” so you catch it before a broken generation.

    In the meantime, go to WooCommerce → IntelliDesc, click “Refresh model list,” and pick a current model from the dropdown — that should resolve it right away.

    Thanks again for flagging this!
