TL;DR Google is fixing major quota complaints in Gemini by addressing bugs and making usage limits more predictable.
The company is also changing how heavy usage is counted, while failed requests and Flash-Lite prompts won’t count towards limits at all.
To improve transparency, Google is adding better breakdowns for deep research usage and making model selection persistent across sessions.
We recently reported that Google had quietly tightened parts of its AI Pro plan, and users did not take long to notice. People instantly started reporting that their limits were being hit much faster than expected, sometimes within just a few prompts. Google later increased quotas for Antigravity users to calm things down, but that only addressed part of the frustration.
Now, Josh Woodward, Vice President at Google, has responded more directly in a post on X, acknowledging that users were encountering limits sooner than they should. He said the company is now rolling out several fixes designed to make usage more predictable, reduce confusion, and ensure quotas feel more consistent across different types of tasks.

One of the biggest fixes involves a bug tied to Omni video generation. In some cases, users were finding that just one or two video prompts were eating up a large portion of their quota. For example, someone experimenting with short clips or testing different styles could suddenly see their allowance drop far more than expected after only a couple of attempts. Google says this issue has now been fixed, and it is also increasing allowances for heavier users. Ultra subscribers, for instance, are getting double the number of Omni video generations starting immediately.
