The Ultimate Guide to Fixing the Infinite Retry Loop in Google's Antigravity AI IDE

# The Ultimate Guide to Fixing the Infinite Retry Loop in Google's Antigravity AI IDE ## Attention Antigravity Users: Solving the Gemini API Infinite Retry Loop Have you encountered the frustrating **Infinite Retry** loop when calling Gemini models after upgrading Google's AI IDE, Antigravity, to a new version like 1. 23. 2? This video provides a detailed diagnosis and a definitive solution. ### The Problem In Antigravity, when you try to send a request to a Gemini model (e. g. , Gemini 1. 5 Flash) , the application immediately enters a `retry` state. No matter how many times you click retry, the request fails to go through. This issue might not have been present in older versions (like 1. 22. x) . ### Root Cause Analysis: It's All About the Network By using the `debug info` feature, we can uncover the underlying error message: `HTTP 400` with the note `user location is not supported`. This clearly indicates that the problem isn't with your code or the model itself, but with your **network connection**. This typically happens because Google's API backend has updated its **IP address database**, causing the network node or proxy you are currently using to be flagged as originating from an unsupported region. Even if this node worked perfectly in the past, the new rules may render it invalid. ### The Ultimate Solution The fix is surprisingly simple: 1. **Switch Your Network Node**: Change your proxy or VPN to a different, supported geographical location. 2. **Retry the Request**: Simply click `retry` again within Antigravity. As demonstrated in the video, without changing any code or settings, a simple network switch immediately resolves the infinite retry issue, and the API call proceeds successfully. ### Outdated and Ineffective Methods Some users previously attempted the following workarounds, which are now confirmed to be **ineffective**: * **Version Downgrade**: Rolling back Antigravity to an older 1. 22. x version. Google now enforces updates, preventing older clients from connecting to the service. * **Modifying Configuration Files**: Spoofing the version number by editing the `product. json` file. This method now results in an `HTTP 429 - Resource has been exhausted` error, indicating stricter server-side version checks are in place. ### Summary & Key Takeaways * When faced with an infinite retry loop, always use `debug info` first to check the specific error code. * If the error is `400 user location. . . `, it's almost certainly a **network issue**. Your first course of action should be to switch network nodes. * If the error is `429 resource exhausted. . . `, it might be related to your account status or an issue on Google's end. We hope this guide helps you quickly resolve network-related issues in Antigravity, allowing you to get back to seamless AI development.
