Can an agent pay with Google Gemini API billing?
KINDAPaid tier needs a Google billing account with a payment method set up by a human, and may auto-assign a prepay plan. Agents can spend against it but cannot create it. No crypto/402 rail found on this page.
Proof
“Asked to prepay a minimum of $5 to complete billing setup (meaning your account is auto-assigned to the Prepay billing plan)”
