AI Ultra quota changes have made Antigravity unusable for my professional development work. I’m an AI Ultra subscriber. I use Antigravity as my primary development environment, paired with Claude Opus 4.6 as my model. This combination has been the core of my professional workflow for 2 months.
What changed:
For the past couple months, I was able to work productively from early morning through late night — often 12+ hour sessions — without ever hitting a usage limit. Same plan, same model, same type of work. The experience was excellent, and it’s exactly what I expected from a premium subscription.
In the last several days, I’ve started hitting limits regularly. Nothing about my usage pattern has changed. Same model, same type of work, same subscription tier. The only thing that changed is on Google’s end (or perhaps Anthropic’s end).
Why this matters:
I’m a professional developer building a production platform. Antigravity + Opus 4.6 is not a toy for me — it’s my primary development tool. I chose this stack specifically because the combination of Antigravity’s agent-first IDE and Claude Opus’s reasoning capability is unmatched. I chose the Ultra plan specifically because I need sustained, uninterrupted access for deep development work.
When I hit a limit mid-session, it doesn’t just pause my work — it breaks flow state, disrupts multi-step implementation plans, and costs me hours of productivity. The value proposition of a premium plan is that I don’t have to worry about this.
What I’m asking for:
-
Transparency. If the quota model changed, tell us. Publish concrete numbers: how many requests/tokens per day does an Ultra subscriber get for third-party models like Claude? What are the reset windows? Don’t make us guess.
-
Parity with what we had. I’m paying the same monthly subscription fee. If the effective service level has been reduced, that needs to be acknowledged and corrected — not quietly shipped and reframed as an “evolution.”
-
Differentiation that matters. If Ultra is supposed to be the top tier, it should feel like it. Hitting limits on a premium plan after a few hours of normal professional use is not a premium experience. It’s indistinguishable from a free tier with extra steps.
I don’t want to switch tools. Antigravity is the best agentic IDE available. But I can’t justify the monthly fee for a service that no longer delivers what it delivered last week at the same price.
