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. ### ---

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. ![{187B03A2-B73A-4F09-B384-8BC88745AA9F}](https://d3qe71uytubmmx.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/8/d8e6ce06474247cde9f00efff3aee035b2dcc24b.png) ---

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. ---

I’m using Google AI Pro It feels like the quota consumption has increased by 2 to 3 times.. I’ve been using flash-3.8 for code reviews across multiple projects, and I never used to hit the 5-hour limit before.. recently, I sometimes hit the limit after just an hour of use
