Google AI Pro: Quota limits not resetting every 5 hours as advertised - Claude Opus blocked for 6 days

Issue Summary:
I have an active Google AI Pro subscription (98 PLN/month) and experiencing quota limit resets that do not match the advertised 5-hour reset period.

Expected Behavior:
According to Google AI Pro documentation, quota limits should reset every 5 hours for Pro subscribers.

Actual Behavior:
I received a multi-day lockout instead of a 5-hour reset:

  • Model: Claude Opus 4.6 (Thinking) via Antigravity
  • Quota exhausted: February 15, 2026
  • Next reset: February 21, 2026, 4:17:50 AM
  • Duration: 6 DAYS instead of 5 HOURS

Evidence:
Screenshot attached showing the quota limit message with the 6-day lockout period.

Impact:
This makes the Google AI Pro subscription unusable for my business automation workflows. I’m paying 98 PLN/month for a service that promises 5-hour resets but delivers multi-day lockouts.

Additional Context:

  • This appears to be a systemic issue affecting multiple AI Pro users
  • The system suggests upgrading to Ultra despite already having a paid Pro subscription
  • Other users on this forum have reported similar issues with quota resets not working as advertised

Request:
Please investigate and fix this quota reset bug, or provide a refund for the period where the service is not working as advertised.

Account Details:

  • Subscription: Google AI Pro
  • Location: Poland
  • Date of issue: February 15, 2026

Same for me, I am also on AI pro Plan. Google is essentially cheating here.

I am having the same issue. I am onthe Pro plan (have been paying for real for almost a year) and Opus 4.6 quota is not resetting after 5h.

Same here. I’m using the api and it says I have plenty of quote left while keep blocking me from using Gemini 3 pro

I am experiencing the same issue. After two successful 5-hour resets, I have now received a one-week block.

Même problème ici :man_raising_hand:t2:. Après deux réinitialisations réussies de 5 heures, je suis maintenant bloqué pendant une semaine. J’espère que se bug sera vite régler.

Similar problem. RPM doesnt reset every minute, infact it doesnt at all…

An update: today the Calude quota is refreshing as it should. It seems that at least if you are online when the Claude quota is supposed to refresh, it does refresh indeed.
It is possible that the bug has been fixed in the meantime, or that in general the refresh backend is buggy.

Hi everyone,

I’m having the same issue with my Google AI Pro subscription, but in my case it’s even more restrictive and affects all models, not just one.

Context

  • Plan: Google AI Pro (via Antigravity IDE)

  • Usage pattern: normal coding / assistant usage, no massive batch jobs

  • Environment: Google Antigravity IDE with multiple models (Claude, Gemini, etc.)

Problem

After less than 2 hours of normal use, I get blocked on every single model:

  • The IDE shows “Model quota reached / You have exhausted your plan’s baseline quota…”

  • The error appears regardless of which model I switch to

  • The message suggests upgrading to Ultra even though I’m already paying for Pro

The most frustrating part is that the message also shows a reset time several days in the future, and during that whole period I’m basically unable to use any of the models for my work.

Impact

This makes the Pro plan unusable in practice:

  • I can’t iterate on my projects for more than ~2 hours before being hard‑blocked

  • Switching models doesn’t help: the lockout applies globally

  • It completely breaks my workflow as a developer who relies on these tools daily

Expected behavior

  • Quotas should reset automatically every 5 hours as advertised for Pro

  • If there is a global cap across models, it should be clearly documented and not result in multi‑day lockouts after such a short usage window

Request

  • Can someone from Google confirm whether this is a known bug on the Pro plan that also affects all models after a short usage period?

  • Is there any workaround in the meantime, or is this only solvable on Google’s side (backend / billing / quota system)?

  • If the effective limits are much lower or behave differently than advertised, is compensation or a refund planned for the affected period?

Right now I’m paying for a Pro plan that I can only use for about 2 hours before a multi‑day lock, on every model, which doesn’t match the documented behavior.

Thanks in advance for any clarification and for looking into this.

Same issue here. I’m an AI Pro subscriber and I’ve been blocked for 5 days after using Gemini 3.1 Pro on Antigravity. This is way too long for a paying user.

Has anyone found a solution or workaround?

Quick update from my side:

I’ve just tested again today, and the situation is getting even worse.

After only ~30 minutes of normal use in Antigravity (simple coding assistance, no big batches or automated scripts), I’m already hitting the quota limits:

  • Gemini 3.1 Pro (High / Low) now both show a refresh time in 46 hours

  • Other models (Claude, GPT‑OSS, etc.) are still showing multi‑day lockouts as before

So at this point:

  • I get blocked on key models after less than an hour of real work

  • I then have to wait ~46 hours before Gemini Pro resets

  • And several days for the other providers

This is far from the advertised 5‑hour resets for Pro, and it makes it impossible to rely on Antigravity for any serious or continuous development work.

I have same issue :confused:

Well isn’t this frustrating. I came here to see about the 24 hour quota reset having failed me as a tier 1 user and with the intention of signing up to pro in order to be able to get on with my work, then I see that loads of people who pay are getting locked out for days on end. Really hoping someone fixes this asap

I am an ultra-subscriber and I am having the same issues. My quota limits are stating that there are 166 hours remaining for my reset, and I’m draining through quota limits abnormally quickly. This is a literal game-stopper for my client work, and this is just untenable. It’s making Antigravity just be rendered absolutely useless.

In the meantime, I will try to work in pure Claude Code and Gemini CLI, but that is sub-optimal, and it’s not what I expect as an ultra-subscriber.

Same here, it also locks me out for 2 days.

Chiming in with the same issue — I’ve been locked out of Claude Sonnet for five full days on my Google AI Pro subscription. Not hours. Five. Days.

This is completely unacceptable for a paid product. The advertised quota reset window is 5 hours. What I’m experiencing is 120x that. At this point, the service is entirely unusable for any serious development workflow.

What I expect from Google:

  1. A clear explanation of why quotas are not resetting as advertised
  2. A partial or full refund for the days the service has been non-functional
  3. A transparent timeline for when this will actually be fixed
  4. An official acknowledgment that this is a bug, not “intended behavior”

I’m paying for a Pro subscription with the expectation that the product works as described. Advertising 5-hour resets and then locking users out for days is misleading at best, and false advertising at worst.

If there is no resolution or refund forthcoming, I will be escalating this to a formal complaint and leaving reviews on every relevant platform to warn other developers away from relying on Google AI Pro for any production or professional use.

Google, you have the resources to fix this immediately. The fact that this thread has been up for days with no official response is embarrassing. Do better.
