7 day cool down limit for pro user

Four days ago, I hit the weekly usage limit and had been waiting until today for the quota to finally reset. But when I checked, I found that only 20% of the Claude quota was available, and the next reset time is in another 7 days? Isn’t this just ridiculous? Even handing out scraps to a beggar wouldn’t be this stingy.

from today 29-01-2026 , i got cluade model limit till 02-03-2026 , suddenly , i am now frustrated from being able to complete software and websites within hours, it is now restricting from 5 hour cool down to such unprecedented level of cool down model limit and many things that totally annoys me now. i was building a software for my client but now i got stucked or i have to migrae it to somewhere else as the antigravity quota limit has many bugs, need to be resolved

This is has been a persistent and severe quota issue affecting four (4) separate Google AI Pro accounts, all of which I manage. Despite having active, paid subscriptions, every single account has been downgraded to the “Free Tier” weekly quota logic.

Instead of the documented 5-hour reset cycle, I am facing a constant 8-day lockout. I initially reported this via the in-app feedback tool on January 24th but have received no response, and the service remains unusable for professional development.

Same issue here. What a sloppy implementation - probably used AI to make this mess..

I am having the exact same issue here

same with me, its untolerance if coodown until a week

With all due respect Google, but this has gone too far!

I am waiting (like probably everyone else here) for you to fix the bug with the Claude models, but just a moment ago, I realized you’ve done the exact same thing with Gemini?? This has to be a joke!

My quota for Gemini 3 Pro was supposed to reset just moments ago. Instead of unlocking, the timer just jumped by OVER 14 hours.

I am starting to suspect, as others have mentioned, that this is not a “bug” anymore but an INTENTIONAL action.

Please explain this! I paid for a Pro service, and right now I’m being locked out of native models too.

Me too, but I waited days for the first reset, and then it looked for another 7 days without me using a single prompt…

The worst part is that no one even bothers to explain anything to us.

Maybe I’m weird, but I’m used to a simple rule: if I pay for a service, I expect to receive it! Without having to beg, plead, or write a million posts just hoping that someone responsible finally deigns to answer…

Is that really too much to ask?

btw. a few days ago, the subscription fee for the next month was deducted from my account… somehow, there are never any glitches with that part?

Please take a look at this as well

The model ID mix-up is one theory, sure…
But check this out, maybe it’s just a coincidence, but I noticed something else today regarding the free accounts on AI Studio:
until recently, I could have a pretty long conversation there. Today? Boom. “Rate limit reached” after just a few back-and-forths.
I don’t want to sound paranoid, but this + the total radio silence from Google? It’s really starting to look less like a “bug” and more like a feature.

I think Logan did say they reduced google Ai studio rate quota somewhere.

regarding the free tier, you’re probably right. But my question is: did someone’s finger slip and they “accidentally” applied that to Paid/Pro accounts too? Because that’s the real issue here…

With free accounts, sure, they can technically do whatever they want (even though it’s a bit uncool to loyal users who effectively help train the models by using them), but the Pro subscription is a whole different story. We paid. The money was taken. The service is missing. No fixes. No explanations.
That’s way beyond just “bad luck” at this point.

I believe you get API quota as part of quota can use a paid api key

Sure, I can manage the API side of things, but AI Studio isn’t really the point here. I just mentioned it as a side note.
The real bottleneck is Antigravity and the integrated models. There is no place there to plug in your own API keys. You are stuck with what the subscription gives you.
And we paid for the Pro subscription specifically to get those higher limits, which were clearly understood to be a ~5-hour cool-down.
Not 5 days. Not 15 days. 5 hours.
That is exactly why many people upgraded to the Pro plan in the first place.
Look at my situation: I’ve been waiting since ~Jan 19-20 for the Claude models to refresh.
If the system actually worked as advertised (resetting every 5 hours), I have missed out on roughly 48 reset cycles that I paid for. That is 10 days of project downtime.
In the meantime, I tried to make do with Gemini (it’s not as bad as some say, if you keep it on a short leash), even though it’s pretty useless for specific tasks like shaders.
And guess what happened today? They locked Gemini too.
Brilliant move for paying customers. Not to mention the PR disaster.

Pro User, got Quota limit for Claude Sonnet for 1 day, it was 5 hours, what happen, it’s a bug too?

I dont know why you all just going along with this. many of us upgraded to pro under false pretenses, it was said 5 hour cooldown, then in middle of the month google changed it to 5 days without prior notice. the solution is simple, cancel your pro subscriptions, hit where it matters, their pockets… i did, i recommend you gues do as well.

I get your point, but that logic has some holes…

If you buy a piece of tech at a store and it stops working after a few days, do you just throw it in the dumpster? Or do you try to get what you paid for, or at least a refund?
How is this situation any different? I’ve already paid for two billing cycles and the service is non-existent. Maybe you can afford to just lose that money, but I can’t.

I still have a quiet hope that this is actually a mistake. I’m waiting for someone competent to finally speak up, explain the situation, apologize, and for their bosses to come up with a compensation plan for the customers…
Google isn’t some corner store, it’s one of the biggest companies in the world. It’s hard to believe they would want to openly “Modified by moderator” their clients like this. Call me sentimental, but I expect better.

And about “hitting their pockets”…
Are you serious? We are talking about a company with over $300 billion in revenue. Do you really think a handful of people stopping a ~$20 payment will hurt them? It’s a rounding error. :rofl:

If this turns out to be intentional (which I really hope it isn’t), the only thing that could actually hurt a corporation this size is a massive campaign letting millions of people know how they treat their customers. That causes damage. Silent cancellation does not.

When would Google get their act together and recognize that it is important to keep the commitment when a plan is offered and signed up by users? Today, I spent 10 minutes and the quota limit has hit with a cool-off for another week. With this, the effective productive usage of Antigravity to do anything useful will be around 4 hours across a 10 days average. I have come to the conclusion that Google is holding me and wasting my time for believing and moving to antigravity. I’m going back to a combination of options outside of antigravity. Sorry to say this is terrible on the part of Google. Unforgivable for maintaining silence while users are suffering with productivity loss.

I faced this very issue, and after waiting for Google to resolve this for days (while witnessing a productivity drop), I bailed and signed up for Kiro IDE. They offer Claude models and are extremely transparent about quota I have left, credits each task is taking. The price for their pro sub is similar $20; you get 1000 credits per month and then Pay-per-use overage @ $0.04/credit - so far so good.
