Hi @Abdullah_Al_Maruf,

Welcome to the Forum.

The Model unavailable, retrying message is not caused by your plan’s usage quota—it typically occurs when a model experiences temporary server capacity constraints or when a long conversation with large file changes times out while waiting for a response.

Please try the following steps:

  • Update to Antigravity v2.31.0: Make sure you are on the latest release from the Changelog, which fixes an issue where requests failed and retried when a thinking model took more than a minute to start responding.
  • Start a new conversation: Continuing a long thread after large multi-file edits (like the 17-minute turn in your screenshot) carries heavy context that can trigger timeouts. Starting a fresh conversation helps clear the stuck state.
  • Adjust thinking level or switch models: From the model selector under the prompt box, try lowering the thinking level to Low or Medium for faster responses, or switch to another model available on your plan (such as Gemini 4 Argon or Claude Sonnet 5.5 (thinking) on Google AI Pro).

Please let us know if the issue persists after updating and starting a fresh conversation.
