Pro subscribers locked out of Gemini 4 Argon in AI Studio, need Ultra plan or API key

A Reddit user complains about confusing subscription tiers: Argon works in the Gemini app, but selecting Gemini 4 Argon in AI Studio triggers a paywall requiring a Google AI Ultra plan or an API key — despite already paying for Pro. The dialog shows the Ultra plan bundles premium models like Nano Banana and Omni plus Gemini App, Flow, and Notebook access.
