Event date: 2026-10-26

Google says its Gemini Generate Content API will now store each request by default for new paid‑tier projects. The change aligns the API with the Interactions API, which already logs calls. Existing projects keep their current setting. Developers can turn logging off by adding store=false to a request or disabling it in the Logs and Datasets dashboard.

## The facts

- Effective date: 2026-10-26 ("October 26, 2026")
- Applies to new projects on the paid tier of the Generate Content API

## Why it matters

Developers will see their usage data automatically logged, which can help with debugging but may increase storage costs unless they opt out.
