Resource has been exhausted

[Edwin-Holland]

I've been working in Browseros with various user agents: Gemini, Ollama, and Openrouter.
It worked fine, but today I got the message:

Something went wrong
Failed after 3 attempts. Last error: Resource has been exhausted (e.g., check quota).
It can't be the quota. I'm not at the limits, and Ollama is running locally.

Reinstalling and removing configuration files doesn't help.

Does anyone have a solution?

That exact wording — "Resource has been exhausted" — is Google Gemini's error (RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED), not BrowserOS or Ollama. So even though Ollama runs locally, the agent was almost certainly still routed to Gemini for that call, and Gemini's free tier has surprisingly tight limits — both per-minute and per-day — so you can hit it without feeling like you're "at the limit," especially the daily cap that resets on Google's clock, not yours.

A few things to check:

• In the Agent's model settings, confirm which provider is actually selected — if it's Gemini, that's the source. Switch the Agent to your Ollama model to rule it out.
• If you want to stay on Gemini, check your quota in Google AI Studio / Cloud console; the free tier's per-day limit is the usual culprit.
• If you're on Ollama, make sure the context is high enough (OLLAMA_CONTEXT_LENGTH=20000) — too-low context throws its own errors that look like failures-after-retries.

Closing since the cause is provider quota rather than BrowserOS, but if it keeps happening on a local-only setup, reopen with which provider the Agent is set to and I'll help dig in.
