Gemini 3 Pro with Nano Banana — “model currently overloaded” in most generation attempts

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing a persistent issue when trying to use Gemini 3 Pro with Nano Banana in Figma AI.

In about 90% of my attempts to generate or regenerate an image, I receive the message:
“model currently overloaded, try again later.”

This started roughly a week ago, and since then the model has become almost unusable for me — most requests fail with this error. Retrying multiple times usually doesn’t help. Other models work correctly, иut the result, of course, is not as good.

Hi ​@Eugene_Simonov

 

I understand that you’re experiencing the “model currently overloaded, try again later.” error when using Gemini 3 Pro.

Thanks for flagging this. I’ve passed this along to our team internally.

In the meantime, while you mentioned that the results may not fully meet your expectations, you could try switching to Gemini 2.5 or GPT 1.5 as an alternative.

 

Thanks,

Thank you ​@Junko3  for your quick response!

Let me know if you need any additional information from me. 

Yes, of course, I am now trying to use Gemini 2.5 or GPT 1.5 more often, but of course, I would like Gemini 3 to work as before, because the results were often very successful.

In any case, thank you for bringing this to attention and trying to resolve the issue.

I wanted to report that I am facing the exact same problem described here. I encounter these overload errors with both Gemini 2.5 and 3.0 models. Switching to other models isn't a viable solution for me as they don't fit my specific workflow requirements. My colleagues are also affected by this same issue.

This problem has been going on for a long time. I have a Google subscription, but I find it easier to work in Figma. Is it possible to implement the ability to use nanabanana's own APIs?
