The error "This model is currently experiencing high demand" comes from the Gemini translation API, indicating the model servers are temporarily overloaded. This is a transient server-side issue.

Solutions (try in order):

  1. Wait and retry: Spikes are usually temporary. Wait a few minutes and restart the task.
  2. Switch to a less busy model: In Menu -> Translation Settings -> Gemini, try a different model with lower demand (e.g., gemini-flash-latest instead of gemini-2.5-pro). Increase the max_token value if you switch.
  3. Reduce batch size: In Menu -> Tools -> Advanced Options -> Subtitle Translation, lower AI translation batch lines (e.g., to 10 or 5) and increase Pause seconds after translation (e.g., to 5) to avoid triggering rate limits.
  4. Temporarily change translation channel: Use a different channel like DeepSeek, OpenAI ChatGPT, or Google Translate (free) until Gemini recovers.
