This specific issue, the phantom drain where usage quotas instantly reset to a 165-hour cooldown without a single prompt being sent has been reported countless times across this forum. Yet, there is complete silence. Has anyone from the Google team actually acknowledged this?
To be clear, this isn’t an isolated API issue with one provider. It is happening across the board. Whether you select Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.6, or Claude Opus 4.6, the Antigravity IDE instantly drains the refreshed quota and locks you out for a week.
But honestly, the quota bug is just the tip of the iceberg regarding how universally buggy this software is right now. The overall instability is completely breaking the “agent-first” workflow:
-
Wiped History: Almost every update completely wipes out conversation histories. When you are deep into building complex architectures, like orchestrating a full-stack web app or debugging a deep learning model losing that agent context is a massive setback.
-
Poor Shell Integration: The shell integration is incredibly inconsistent, which defeats the purpose of having synchronized cross-surface agents.
-
Broken Workflows: The constant need to restart, clear caches, and fight the IDE just to get basic tasks done makes it feel like we are beta-testing a pre-alpha build.
Look, it is completely understood that Google Antigravity is a brand-new product. Being an early adopter means dealing with bugs. But the trajectory here is deeply concerning. Every single update seems to follow the exact same pattern: a couple of minor things get patched, but a massive wave of regressions takes their place.
It legitimately begs the question of how this product is being maintained under the hood. Is the internal team just letting models generate the IDE’s codebase without stringent human code review or QA? Are these critical, workflow-breaking issues even being brought up in triage meetings, or is the feedback on this board just going into a void?
We are trying to rely on this platform to do serious development, but fighting the IDE every single day is exhausting. We need some transparency and a sign that these widespread issues are actually being addressed.
