This error is caused by Google's Gemini API server being unable to handle your request due to temporary high demand or rate limiting on their side. The message "This model is currently experiencing high demand" is a server-side throttle.

How to resolve:

  1. Wait and retry – The spike is usually temporary. Wait 5–10 minutes and try again.
  2. Switch to a different Gemini model – Less popular models like gemini-2.0-flash or gemini-2.5-pro often have better availability. Go to Menu → Translation Settings → Gemini, and change the model from the default to one of the alternative models listed.
  3. Reduce request frequency – In Menu → Tools/Options → Advanced Options → Subtitle Translation Adjustments, increase the Pause After Each Translation (seconds) value to at least 5–10. Also reduce AI Translation Channel Batch Subtitle Rows to a lower number (e.g., 10–20).
  4. Check API key tier – Free tier Gemini keys have stricter rate limits. Upgrading to a paid Google Cloud API key with higher quotas can help.

If the problem persists, try a different translation channel (e.g., DeepSeek, OpenAI ChatGPT) as a temporary workaround.
