As a Google AI Ultra subscriber paying $250/month for what is supposed to be Google’s highest-tier AI experience, I honestly have to ask: what exactly are we paying for at this point?
The Anti Gravity IDE currently feels more like an unstable beta than a premium development environment. Basic functionality is constantly breaking:
-
the IDE crashes randomly
-
the settings panel sometimes refuses to load
-
clicking projects causes page flickering
-
UI responsiveness is inconsistent overall
That alone would already be frustrating for a premium product, but the bigger issue is the complete lack of transparency regarding quotas.
At launch, I could code for hours continuously without problems. Then suddenly the quota became noticeably smaller. First I could work for around five hours. Then maybe two. Now sometimes the quota is exhausted after barely 20 minutes of actual use.
And the worst part: these reductions happened silently. No proper announcement. No detailed explanation. No transparency about what changed.
Now the Google AI Family feature has effectively become a shared quota pool between family members. For a $250/month subscription, that is honestly absurd. People subscribed under the assumption of individual access, not fighting each other over limited usage capacity.
Another major frustration is the communication from Google. The forums are full of feedback and complaints, yet most responses feel completely generic:
“We’re looking into it.”
“Thanks for the feedback.”
“We recently changed this.”
Meanwhile, the actual concerns remain unresolved for weeks or months.
Model rollout speed is also painfully slow. New Gemini models get announced and released elsewhere, but Ultra users inside the IDE often wait weeks before getting access — despite supposedly being Google’s highest paying AI customers.
And finally, reliability is becoming unacceptable. There are times when the IDE is simply unusable because of:
“Servers are experiencing high traffic. Please try again later.”
That message might be understandable occasionally on a free plan. But on a $250/month premium subscription? Constantly? That should not be normalised.
At this point, it genuinely feels like Google is reducing resources, reducing quotas, delaying features, and increasing restrictions while charging one of the highest AI subscription prices on the market.
Google has incredible AI technology. That is not the issue.
The issue is that the actual paying user experience currently does not match the premium branding at all.
