TL;DR Google quietly reduced Gemini AI Pro limits, triggering backlash from Reddit users who said the paid plan suddenly felt far more restrictive.
After criticism exploded online, Google DeepMind’s Varun Mohan announced two separate quota boosts for Antigravity users, effectively increasing Gemini limits by 9x compared to the post-nerf state.
The higher limits apply only inside Antigravity for now, while broader Gemini usage caps remain unchanged — and many users say the limits are still lower than before the original rollback.
Two days ago, we reported that Google quietly nerfed the AI Pro plan, and the backlash was immediate. Over on Reddit, frustrated users accused the company of pulling a bait-and-switch after noticing tighter Gemini usage limits than before. For users who depend on Gemini for coding, deep research, or hours-long workflows, hitting weekly limits so quickly made the AI Pro plan feel unnecessarily restrictive, especially for something people are actively paying for.
Now, Google appears to be scrambling to calm things down. Shortly after the criticism picked up steam, Varun Mohan, Director at Google DeepMind working on Antigravity, posted on X saying the company was tripling Gemini rate limits across all paid Antigravity tiers and resetting everyone’s weekly quota. According to Mohan, the team realized some users were exhausting their limits far too quickly and wanted to respond fast. But that wasn’t the end of it.
In another update posted today, Mohan announced that Google is again tripling weekly Gemini quotas across all paid plans in Antigravity and even resetting them.
If you’re keeping count, that effectively works out to a massive 9x increase compared to where limits landed after the original nerf. And honestly, that kind of rapid reversal says a lot.
This means people are using Antigravity far more aggressively than Google expected. Mohan said the company saw a huge jump in users building projects after the first quota increase, while many others worried they’d burn through their weekly allowance after just a couple of work sessions.
