New usage limits have hit Google’s Gemini AI models and, following user concerns, Google has raised those limits specifically for Antigravity – twice.
Alongside plenty of Gemini-related announcements this week at Google I/O, it was also revealed that Gemini would be getting compute-based usage limits for its various tools and abilities. Users are a bit frustrated by this, but Google is hearing the feedback in one specific area.
Within Antigravity – Google’s AI-powered coding tool – Gemini’s usage limits have been raised twice since they kicked in earlier this week.
On Wednesday, Google raised Gemini model rate limits for Antigravity by 3x, as well as resetting the weekly quotas for all users. This happened quickly after new limits were put in place, largely due to users hitting their limits shortly after they were enacted. Some were finding they could hit the limits within just an hour of working in Antigravity, a pretty drastic change from what was available before.
Tonight, Google has again 3x’d usage limits for Gemini models in Antigravity, this time for the weekly quota. Google’s Varun Mohan, a Director within DeepMind working on Antigravity, acknowledged that users could hit their weekly limits “after a couple work sessions,” and also confirmed that Google has reset quotas for all paid plans for the second time this week.
The higher quotas on Antigravity will likely help many to continue getting the most out of these tools, but limits will inevitably still have an impact, especially seeing as they’re still lower than they were before, as users quickly pointed out. That’s going to be the case for Gemini’s suite of tools as a whole, since usage limits haven’t changed anywhere outside of Antigravity at this time.
