As of yesterday, AI Studio got limited to 10 requests per day, which makes it almost unusable unless you use multiple accounts (which may or may not break the terms of service, I don’t know for sure). I understand that there’s capacity issues, but could you consider making it possible to use your quota from Gemini (non AI Studio, gemini.google.com) and the vibe coding feature instead? There’s nothing stopping people from using those excessively, even in the free tier, and stressing Google servers even more then you can with playground. This is making it impossible to test any prompts.
- It’s really disappointing to see Google doing this. I’m having the same issue.
Same googl, Try different rate limiting? Maybe limit veo and genie more? But not Text queries? Getting 10 3.0 pro requests as a pro subscriber, I hit that before 7:00AM… Back to Claude and ChatGPT for me…
Hey! We do not yet consider someone’s Google One subscription as part of the rate limit we give, but the team is actively working on this! The current AI Studio playground experience is more optimized for API key use vs the subscription, but I know lots of folks want to use G1 subs as part of AI Studio so we are doing the work to support it! Stay tuned : )
Thanks for the update from two weeks ago.
Since then, there have been no further updates, timelines, or signals of progress. Many of us are still waiting, so even a rough estimate would be helpful.
At the same time, I want to highlight something critical.
AI Studio is not just valued because of access. It is valued because the model behaves differently there. The experience feels more open, more creative, and less heavily filtered compared to the Gemini app.
This matters a lot for real use cases.
In AI Studio, the model is noticeably more expressive in storytelling, character work, emotional dialogue, romance themes, and mature narrative depth. It feels capable of handling nuanced human interactions without immediately flattening them into safe but sterile responses.
This is a major reason why people use AI Studio for creative work.
So while subscription support is something many of us are waiting for, there is also a very real concern:
Access must improve without tightening censorship.
If subscription integration ends up bringing the same heavier constraints that exist in the Gemini app, the core value of AI Studio will be lost. The current openness is exactly what allows the model to be creative, emotionally rich, and genuinely useful for storytelling and deep interaction.
Can you clarify whether preserving this more open creative behavior is part of the plan, and whether there is any rough timeline for subscription support?
Because improved access is important – but not at the cost of breaking what already works.
I’m here because I’m finding ai studio unusable half way through a project. I have a paid api key and get nothing but out of quota errors as soon as its active. Ive been to the billing message help to no avail twice, just run round in circles and they confirm I appear to have everything set up correctly from the backend. Is this 10 prompt limit applied to all regardless of paid key or not? If you know where I should go for help, please reply. Thanks.
Paid API keys are a separate issue, they shouldn’t be subject to the same rate limits as AI Studio. If you’re having issues with it I suggest making a new thread.
