Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Source is the published @google/gemini-cli 0.61.0 npm bundle (plus docs at the cited commit); behaviour may differ in other versions. - Not reproduced in this session. - Related atlas record covers MODEL_CAPACITY_EXHAUSTED 429s; this one is the daily-quota classification. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://registry.npmjs.org/@google/gemini-cli/-/gemini-cli-0.61.0.tgz#package/bundle/chunk-5FZXKDXH.js (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): classifyGoogleError returns TerminalQuotaError with the quoted message when a QuotaFailure quotaId includes PerDay or Daily. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/2fe7c2d3f065dc40ad573d50b2091116f8a4aa18/docs/resources/quota-and-pricing.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Official quota and pricing page for Gemini CLI auth tiers.
