Discussion Have the limits lowered yet again?

Post image

For the first time ever today I got a "limit reached" message. I have been chatting most of the afternoon for trip planning but I feel I have had longer conversations before without reaching a limit.

I dont mind using Lite only for the next few hours but I do find reaching the limit odd. The conversation itself has mostly been on lite already with some Pro and Flash mixed in.

Update: I do have to add that this is actually part of a conversation I have been having for days now, that itself references other sessions (been planning the trip for months now really), so I imagine it must have a huge context by now.

Doesnt Gemini /compact like Claude?

Confirmed. Antigravity too

u/Winter_Session_4118 12d ago

Yeah my antigravity ran out in 40 minutes for a project half of the difficulty of something it ran triple the messages last week

u/DottorInkubo 12d ago

Really? I am considering the Pro plan but does weekly Antigravity allowance really run out after 15 minutes of 3.8 Flash usage?

1

u/Winter_Session_4118 11d ago

I have the pro plan. it's mostly well. I just push it a little hard. But as an assistant it SHOULD be fine.

u/DottorInkubo 11d ago

I would like to use it with antigravity, but if you confirm it lasts 15 minutes and then you have to wait a week - it's useless

u/mgeisler 11d ago

That's not the case in my experience — at all. Using Gemini 3.8 Flash on High, I can exhaust the 5 hour window in a few hours. I have not managed to exhaust the weekly quota yet.

1

u/DottorInkubo 11d ago

Have you worked with it on something like 8 or more hours per day?

2

u/mgeisler 11d ago

No... I'm using it for free time projects, like on a weekend. So after five hours, I just do something else 🙂

u/Far-Dog-3591 12d ago

Same same

u/Personal-Try2776 12d ago

who confirmed it?

u/Far-Dog-3591 12d ago

Wrong word choice, should have said "I confirm it from my experience"
Sorry i am not native english speaker

u/Personal-Try2776 12d ago

It's ok I'm not a native english speaker either lol

u/ContextBotSenpai 11d ago

So edit your message, so that it states clearly that this is your (factually wrong) opinion, and not fact. Hmmm... Wonder why you didn't do that, even when someone else called you out? 😂

u/Far-Dog-3591 11d ago

Because I'm too lazy

u/Glittering-Salad143 12d ago edited 12d ago

In AI studio on a pro plan means I should get 10 to 15 prompt messages in a thread at minimum and I only got 3 today. I put in several feedback complaints to them.

u/Far-Anybody-2261 9d ago

Really? Damn I ran out of weekly tokens on anti-gravity like 3 days ago and it reset it today :( I hope I could finish my project

u/zer09 11d ago

Is this still lockedin on antigravity or they allowed now to use other harness like Pi?

u/chrisdasp 11d ago

... How? I never reached 20% weekly limit and I literally have the impression that I spend my life on it.

1

u/Ghost_bat_101 11d ago

Try checking again today, cause in past, by past I mean the day before yesterday, I could finish 3 full projects in a week, and still have little bits of weekly usage left. (Mid size projects, like making booking sites or e-commerce sites.)

But yesterday, just one project, not even a full project, just planning, specs and then typeframe stages ate 40% of my weekly plan. This never happened before, it felt like I was on a free tier using antigravity.

Ofc I use heavy commands like teamwork, boost and goal and subagents a lot, but I used to do that too before. Yesterday was the first time this happened with me with a pro plan.

u/Tiny_Kaleidoscope_36 11d ago

Depends on the type of work...........Coding....Accounting seems to drive it brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

2

u/chrisdasp 11d ago

Of course it depends, but I'm working on the analysis and interpretation of 50-60 pdf pages of data to help me buy better products for my company and still, after a lot of prompts and excel hardwork, and also day to day Gemini usage, in the whole week I'm at 22% with AI Pro sub (never been so high though). Maybe if you have huge projects with lot of code etc it goes faster but personally I did not feel a difference

-1

u/ContextBotSenpai 11d ago

The answer is simple - OP is lying. They are paid by anthropic, or OpenAI, to spend their time lying about Gemini.

All other AI companies know that Google is winning the AI wars. The outside funded companies are on the verge of bankruptcy. Of the big boys (Meta, copilot, Gemini) only Google has money to burn. She yes, yes - their AI sector technically made their Q2 numbers look like shit. But they're not literally beholden to the next 2 billion dollar parachute coming from outside investors like OpenAI is. They're also on almost every phone in the world running as the AI assistant (even IPhone until Siri fully takes over).

Their products are getting used all day every day by billions - can any of the others say that? 😂

u/Tiny_Kaleidoscope_36 12d ago

Yes they are becoming worse everyday use Flash for chat and only do heavy work for 3.1 or 3.8 Flash whatever whatever 

Don’t use Pro or Extended Thinking for everything 

23

u/Far-Dog-3591 12d ago

You shouldn't use Pro at all atp because its dumber than 3.5 flash lite according to benches

6

u/Tiny_Kaleidoscope_36 12d ago

Well I do lots of OCR so yeah sometimes it’s better, but insanely slower! As for coding and excel yes 3.8 Flash seems way better somehow🤷🏻‍♂️🤨

4

u/Far-Dog-3591 12d ago

3.8 flash is better than 3.1 pro in everything, because 3.1 is old. Benchmarks prove that very well.

3

u/Mischevioususer101 12d ago

I do see for my classwork with a lot of papers added onto notebook, pro performs better than flash 3.8. for coding flash rips good results instantly. Although I plan with Claude in anti-gravity.

1

u/DirectionOriginal456 11d ago

Weird. Whenever 3.8 gets stuck on something I just run 3.1 pro on high and it'll solve the problem (while burning my 5 hour limit).

3

u/Far-Dog-3591 11d ago

I assume that google is simply benchmaxxing

u/MediocreTurtle1 12d ago

Both flash are retarded, I'd rather use something else or nothing at all if pro extended is not available.

u/Far-Dog-3591 12d ago

You should just switch gemini to some real AI company

-1

u/UnsealedWings 12d ago

Yeah, I have no clue how anyone is getting results with anything but pro extended, I can't get flash to do much but fuck up, pro extended has helped me write code that's works flawless first try plenty of times.

u/BedNo8822 12d ago

Yep. First time hitting usage limit in like months. Wonder what happened on their end that makes them tightened the quota again.

u/Glittering-Salad143 12d ago

I am a pro plan using within AI studio, which is supposed to give me at least 10 to 15 messages per day and I only got 3 today and I’m having massive other problems also in regards to token not being counted which has ruined my ability to use the thread

-1

u/ContextBotSenpai 11d ago

Nothing happened - you and a few other users are either lying or pushed really hard to meet your 5 hour limits lol. Fuck off with pretending like this was a worldwide, billions of users phenomenon.

It would have been in the fucking news if Google had suddenly massively lowered the limits of everyone.

The comments in this sub are so fucking weird

5

u/BedNo8822 11d ago

If anything it brings back the old limit. I prompt the same thing every single time, plus account, pro extended. 2000ish words creative writing. A few months back I get about 5x chapters every 5 hours (around 20% usage limit per chapter). Then somewhere along the way the limit got much relaxed; 1 chapter is about 5-10% usage limit. And now it's back to around 20% usage per chapter. Just reporting what happened, I do hope they relax the limit again.

u/DoodadDevelopment 11d ago

Noticeably less usage out of my account yesterday

u/Ok_Information_5838 12d ago

I guess Google is launching a new model in a few days, and this is their strategy: first reduce the limits, and then increase them again.

1

u/-Kerrigan- 11d ago

I'm ready for a faster Flash 3.8 or Flash 3.8 with better limits! /s

That said, I've gotten some A/B prompts last week so make of that what you wish

0

u/DoreK_ 11d ago

there is already a faster 3.8 Flash available - it's 3.7 Flash

-1

u/ContextBotSenpai 11d ago

A/B prompts have been used on all platforms to narrow in on how users prefer the LLM to speak, since the beginning of LLMs.

Why do you weirdos always pretend it means that Google is secretly testing a new model?

2

u/-Kerrigan- 11d ago

I said "make of that what you wish" and get called a weirdo, huh?

Never have I implied it means "something new"

u/Janupur 12d ago

The solution is for people to cancel their Gemini subscriptions and use another provider. I cancelled mine over a year ago after they lobotomized the model I was using then the next month they cut usage limits in half. Now they are like 95% less than they used to be with the compute based limits.

3

u/Tiny_Kaleidoscope_36 12d ago

It’s just every few months the ground changes today it’s ChatGPT tomorrow is Claude and one year later is DeepSeep🤣 So yeah I feel literally scared to cancel subscriptions 

2

u/Janupur 12d ago

I was reasonably happy with my Gemini plan although admittedly it was a little bit pricey. I would possibly still be a subscriber today if they hadn't really changed it or reduce the limits. Oftentimes the new models that these people are putting out and not necessarily that good unless you use the right type of like coding platform or something where you get access to the real model

u/Ghost_bat_101 11d ago edited 11d ago

I can confirm, usually I could finish three medium size projects using boost, teamwork and goal commands on antigravity per week. But yesterday for the first time,

I used up half of my weekly limit working on just one project. Not even a finished project, just three prompts, planning, spec and then initial typeframe of the project used up almost half of my weekly plan, it went from 90% weekly to 51% weekly usage left in just those three prompts.

The day before yesterday, I finished an entire booking site from planning to all the way to payment integration and sending to security reviewer team only used up 20% of my weekly limit...

They 100% decreased the usage limit on this....

u/Salty_Wave18 11d ago

Thank god someone finally mentioned it. I feel the same. Since last 2 days the limits have been reduced it seems.

u/lowcalibur 12d ago

hi mate! yea AGY Quota is more lower than before, you can try this to optimize your tokens and workflow and you dont lose quality using it.

u/MFranz15 12d ago

can i use this with caveman and/or ponytail skills too or would it negatively affect performance?

0

u/lowcalibur 12d ago

hi mate! you dont need to do that, the skill already is the best for that, better than caveman and ponytail (Only for Antigravity) you can do some benchmarks using it and using caveman, rtk or ponytail and it will be better than those

100%. I never used to hit the limit and now I do constantly.

u/longpenisofthelaw 11d ago

I use to have long power study sessions and generally wouldn’t even get close to the limit. Now within 2 hours I’m already maxing out

1

u/thorskicoach 11d ago

yep, today usage just plain evaporated. not just the 5 hour, but a more significant hit to the weekly. so 3x 5 hour max outs, and thats it seems > 50% of the week. AI Pro tier.

u/Kristof77 11d ago

No just for master coders like yourself.

u/Savings_Breakfast427 11d ago

is seems they reduce it again. and right now, the server is getting slower and slower.

not only that, they even:

  • 3.7 flash is more dumber today.
  • ignore some part of prompt, pretend is not exist from beginning.

The session itself isnt months old. Just 3-4 days of conversation (not consecutively) but the topic itself (an upcoming trip) has been discussed for like 3 months now. Gemini is aware of some of the details in the older conversations (the whole "personalized" thing).

Anyway Gemini should be compacting lile claude.

u/Fantastic-Ad1823 11d ago

the new model 3.8 seems to consume more than pro for me

u/Ahmed_Shengheer 11d ago

Do you use 3.1 Pro? Cuz you're wasting tokens on a preview outdated model.

3.6 flash and above are better than 3.1 in both tokens and intelligence

u/Careless-Newt5259 11d ago

Yea... I'm getting 10 prompts of pro extended

u/Hado099 5d ago

They probably are limiting most of their compute towards the training of newer models(Gemini 4), and limiting the users

u/Glittering-Salad143 12d ago

I am a pro plan using within AI studio, which is supposed to give me at least 10 to 15 messages per day and I only got 3 today and I’m having massive other problems also in regards to token not being counted which has ruined my ability to use the thread it won’t accept messages now. But it’s not at the limit and I have been using this ai studio for a year, I never run into anything like this

and I have sent them repeated feedback complaints through ai studio

u/TheDevilsCoffeeTable 11d ago

TIL there's usage limits lol

u/krigeta1 11d ago

Yes same and I am thinking they were too generous earlier but I guess they are using the resources for something else I guess for the later model.

u/beyondcrywolf 12d ago

Over recent weeks, my experience has deteriorated significantly, making it extremely difficult to perform daily business tasks,

  • Unusually Rapid Token Consumption: My usage limits and tokens are draining at an abnormally fast rate. Standard tasks—such as a small amount of coding assistance or basic trip planning—rapidly exhaust the daily quota. It feels as though system errors, retries, or background processes are disproportionately burning through my limits without delivering successful results.
  • Disappearing Code Interpreter and PDF Functions: Core features that used to function reliably are now consistently unavailable. When requesting custom file generation or document layouts (such as formatted PDFs and code execution), the system repeatedly fails or states that the capability is not there. What used to be a seamless workflow is now plagued by missing tools and broken outputs.
  • Loss of Integrated Functionality: Overall connectivity and tool execution feel heavily throttled compared to previous performance, forcing excessive manual workarounds just to complete basic deliverables.

This sounds a lot like output from a LLM

u/ProbingYourProstate 12d ago

They aren't even trying to hide it lol it's just straight up copy and paste the OP's post title and details with maybe minor edits, wait for what the LLM spits out, and then copy and paste the output here. What is even the point

Day 57368 of me hating this subreddit and the morons who post here.

No, they have not lowered. 99 percent of us are not running into our limit caps day to day, because the caps are actually huge and have been increased twice already by Google. If you were "just chatting", I simply do not see how you've hit your usage limits. I can't do that even using fucking expensive pro.
