Massive Quota Inefficiency & Over-consumption on Ultra Tier Since Recent Update

Hi everyone,

I am using the Antigravity Desktop App / CLI on the Ultra Tier ($100/mo) for my daily development and infrastructure automation.

Since the recent update this week, I’ve experienced a massive, unacceptable spike in quota consumption. Tasks that used to take less than 15-20% of my 5-hour rolling quota last week are now completely draining my limit within 30 minutes of active work today. The consumption rate feels almost 3 to 5 times worse under the exact same workflow.

After monitoring the agent behavior closely, I suspect there is a serious regression in how context and file trees are managed.

Welcome to the club (PRO plan)

Only 2 cycles, and it’s almost dead for week!
I don’t know what the hell is 5 hours cycle when you can’t even make it 1 day!

In other words:
you can only use 1 five hours cycle each 2 days. 5 hours in 50 hours.
Developer must buy 10 pro subscription to achieve all 50 hours.

It feels like this started happening after the recent update to the token billing interface; the last time this occurred was when Gemini 3.5 Flash was first released.

I’m subscribed to Ultra (20x), and I’m experiencing the same issue. Claude Opus 4.6 has become almost unusable. This is very disappointing. Until a few days ago, it was difficult for me to exhaust even a 5-hour usage window. However, today I used it up in less than two hours. A short while ago, my 5-hour window was refreshed. After sending just one message, 1/10 of the quota was consumed. In total, I exhausted the newly refreshed 5-hour window after only 13 messages. This all happened within less than an hour.
