Cause (Documented platform behavior): The error classifier turns daily quota violations (and MODEL_CAPACITY_EXHAUSTED) into TerminalQuotaError, which is not retried; per-minute limits with RetryInfo remain retryable.
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.

- 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.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Gemini CLI] TerminalQuotaError 'You have exhausted your daily quota on this model.' — per-day quota is not retried (vs per-minute 429)
Recommended action: Wait for the daily reset, switch model (/model) or auth type (paid API key/Vertex) with higher quota.
Option: Wait for the daily reset, switch model (/model) or auth type (paid API key/Vertex) with higher quota. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Heavy use hitting a PerDay/Daily quota violation
Steps:
1. Check /stats for usage.
2. Switch to another model or paid tier.
3. Retry after the daily reset.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
