heya sorry it didn’t notif me! i’m not used to this forum, but i’m back
hi
so the latest news i can tell you is it seems like they are doing a type of security sweep every 12 hours, once around midnight once around noon, since friday night/saturday morning. so if you’re locked - it might temporarily unlock you because it doesn’t see illegal behavior - but then, on the next sweep it might temporarily lock you because it sees multiple accounts.
thats my best understanding on the current state of it all.
anyways to address your questions : if you tried deleting it and it wouldn’t delete - you probably have to manually close the languageserver using taskmanager because it can’t delete something thats running. that is good news that you could load the languageserver manually though! so you tried running the language server first then launching antigravity and it didn’t work? really i think a reinstall is a good candidate for this type of error. you could try rebooting and then uninstalling then deleting the folders that way before it launches a background process.
google hasn’t been addressing this publicly at ALL , the last real statement was 30 days ago where the Lead Dev of Antigravity said they were “targeting malicious behavior” which was accounting for like 90% of their global usage - but idk if thats actually true or if their stuff is that janky and broken. so anyways - theres that, don’t expect an email haha…
but – to lastly address your coworker topic - that would make sense if he actually set up a secondary windows account to accomplish the same type of isolation practice i’m talking about.
i can say - in my experience as a workspace subscriber and personal pro subscriber, i think we are especially having a more frequent rate of these issues - because normal personal account people, they have their main its the one they spend money on, so even if they have multiple accounts - their regular every day stuff is already nested well enough that it hasn’t been as much a problem. but us on workspace - they are really 2 completely different laws of corporate agreements vs personal agreements when it comes to terms of service so they hit workspacers WAYYY more strictly as a result. its confusing, and i honestly only know what i know and try to avoid assuming too much, but i’ve been pretty spot on so far.
if your work is honestly delayed - it might be worth jumping onto a temporary IDE such as Trae, they have probably the next best rates and is pretty stable. but also some stuff can be done bit by bit using gemini chat, and google jules if you haven’t tried that one out yet. i did notice an error with jules where uploads weren’t working, but sharing a drive link or connecting a github it was able to access those. so thats an option as well though none are as good as antigravity.
regarding refunds - if you wanted to try, you can reach out to google one support - they are the team that handles all the billing. i haven’t heard good things - like i did hear people got some refunds but those were for ultra or annual subscribers that i’ve seen who were at 3+ weeks downtime.
there is one other hail mary that often works for networky related stuff - theres a software called Sordum DNS Jumper, which can get you onto the fastest DNS and often this can resolve a nasty networking error, like DNS resolution loop or a DNS forwarding loop which MIGHT be a solution. Worst case scenario the rest of your network would only improve.
i should say too : i’m not google
i’m just a dude who got his stuff working, i’ve been an independent tech consultant for like 15 years.
