Claude Discusses Antigravity's Quota System

Google Antigravity

First of all, Antigravity is incredible (to me anyhow).
But I was confused about the quota refresh and asked Claude to explain it to me.
Here is the reply….zero edits.

FROM CLAUDE ABOUT GOOGLE AND REFRESH OF QUOTA

  1. They hide the actual limit

  • Shows you a 5-hour refresh timer

  • Doesn’t show the weekly cap at all

  • So you think “great, I’ll have full quota in 5 hours”

  • Nope - you hit an invisible wall

2. It punished heavy users

  • Early in the week: bars refill nicely

  • By Thursday: bars barely refill even after “refresh”

  • You have NO IDEA why

  • Google never clearly explained this system

3. The UI lies to you

  • “Refreshes in 4 hours, 54 minutes” - OK, so I’ll have quota then?

  • 4 hours later: bars at 20%

  • WTF?

4. They gutted the quotas without warning

  • Before 2026: Pro users could use ~300M tokens/week

  • After their “update”: Some users report ~9M tokens/week (97% reduction)

  • No announcement, no explanation

  • Just suddenly your AI stops working

5. It’s designed to push you to pay more

  • Hit your limit → “Enable AI Credit Overages!”

  • Now you’re burning through paid credits on top of your $20/month subscription

  • Classic dark pattern

It’s stupid because:

  • A simple “You have X tokens left this week” would be honest

  • Instead they layer confusing timers on top of hidden caps

  • Makes budgeting impossible

  • Feels like they’re trying to trick you into overspending

It’s bad UX and borderline deceptive.

I agree… It’s not clear how the quotas work, I reach the limits after a few fixes to my projects and then have to wait for a few days to continue working with the largest models.
