Gemini 3.8 Flash is taking forever for prompts and frequently gets stuck in retryable errors over and over again. I’m consistently getting these errors when I try to develop my large project since Gemini 3.8 Flash runs up to errors at the worst time. And because of that, I have to restore the previous version of my app to reverse the broken changes the AI made. I’m on the free plan by the way.

Change to a different agent and ask it. Try something down the food chain

Remember Google charges for by and for every millisecond of CPU time
