Google AI Plus student plan briefly unlocked Gemini Pro before access vanished

A user on Google AI Plus's free annual student plan — which shouldn't include Pro models — reports being able to use Gemini Pro for a day before access was revoked and downgraded to Flash. A Chrome tab preview screenshot from yesterday shows Pro was selected; it switched to Flash on reload, leaving them puzzled about the short-lived access glitch.
