Whats the TLDR?
MULTIPLE 7 DAY LOOP SOLVED. 167 HOURS AGAIN SOLVED. AG859 SOLVED. QUOTA WONT REFRESH? SOLVED. RESOURCED EXHAUSTED 429 ERRORS - SOLVED.
YOUR DEFAULT SYSTEM BROWSER HAS MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS. GET IT DOWN TO ONE AND CLEAN CACHE OR GET A NEW DEFAULT SYSTEM BROWSER LIKE CHROME CANARY OR EQUIVALENT. SIGN OUT BROWSER AND ANTI, REBOOT, SIGN IN BROWSER AND ANTI. More details below.
START – Seeing 7-day (168-hour) timer instead of normal 5-hour refresh
Quick check (answer these – helps know what's happening):
• Is this a 7-day lockout / 168-hour lockout?
• Timers flipping between 5h ↔ 7d recently (around Noon and Midnight PST for many)?
• Have you used copious / heavy usage lately / multiple full real usages?
• Did this happen after zero / very low usage / immediately on launching?
• Do you have multiple Google accounts / profiles signed in?
If YES to any of the above → Definitely follow the steps below.
If NO to all → Follow the steps anyway (it's safe and fixes most cases).
1. Fix Default Browser + Google Account Mismatch (Core Fix)
- Close Antigravity completely
- Set your default system browser to one with **ONLY ONE Google profile and login**
- That single login MUST be your **AI Pro/Ultra/Personal account** (not Workspace/main/other)
- No other Google accounts or profiles signed in anywhere in that browser
↓
Windows tip: Use Chrome Canary as default (keeps normal Chrome separate for work/personal)
Mac tip: System Settings → Accounts/Internet Accounts – keep only one Google account
↓
2. Launch Antigravity → Perform sign-in / OAuth
(It pulls credentials from the default browser's clean profile)
↓
Does the timer now show truthful 5-hour resets (no forced 7-day loop)?
├── Yes → Success! You're immunized from the security flag.
│ Watch for Windows/browser updates (they can change default!)
└── No → Go to Aggressive Cleanup
↓
3. Aggressive Cleanup (if still broken)
- Remove extra community extensions from Antigravity
- In your clean default browser (Chrome/Canary):
• Sign out of Chrome completely (profile icon → Sign out)
• Clear cache & cookies: Ctrl+Shift+Delete → All time → Cookies + Cached images/files → Clear
• (Recommended) chrome://settings/content/all → Search "``google.com``" → Delete all ``google.com`` data
• Sign back in with ONLY your AI Pro/Ultra/Personal account
- Uninstall Antigravity
- Delete folders:
• userdata/.gemini
• userdata/.antigravity
• %appdata%\Antigravity (or equivalent)
• %localappdata%\Programs\Antigravity
- Reboot computer (do NOT reinstall as Administrator)
- Reinstall Antigravity fresh
- Check clean browser is still default → sign in
↓
Still not fixed? Waiting 5h-12h may automatically resolve, 7d wait may still be required → Edge case (multi-profiles, Mac weirdness, etc.)
Post here with:
• OS (Win/Mac/Linux)
• Exact timer behavior
• What you've tried
→ Tailored help coming
END – Post your success story! Help others escape Reset Hell.
│ Tip: For software needing different default browser:
│ - Close Antigravity, ensure LanguageServer process closed in TaskManager
│ - Switch default temporarily → do the sign-in
│ - Switch back to clean Pro profile before reopening Antigravity
I’m still keeping up with people who still haven’t got the writeup yet because the solution is still the same I’ve had zero downtime since the 16th when i released the workaround after 2 weeks of debug and 7 days testing and hardening. just watch, the 24th is gonna be another massive spike in a new wave of user complaints. this is almost a one size fits all glove - i am still trying to find edge case scenarios where it doesn’t work when the guide is followed so let me know the good or bad news but also the what you did and how your case is different.
Revision #2, Update #4 [LATEST NEWS]
[DOZENS OF USERS WORLD WIDE NOW ON MULTIPLE FORUMS HAVE VERIFIED THIS GLOBAL TEMPORARY RESET PHENOMENON HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE 20TH AROUND MIDNIGHT AND NOON PACIFIC TIME USA, IT IS CAUSING FOR SOME A RESET TO 7DAYS FROM 5HOURS AND OTHERS A RETURN TO 5HOURS FROM 7DAYS! IT IS ESTIMATED TO OCCUR POSSIBLY EVERY 12 HOURS! FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE WILL KEEP YOU IMMUNIZED FROM THE 7DAY SECURITY FLAG BUT IT WILL NOT WORK IF YOU ARE SIMPLY AT TOO MUCH WEEKLY USAGE : THIS ERROR HAS PERSISTED FOR 4 WEEKS NOW AFFECTING USERS ACROSS THE WORLD : MODS PLEASE STICKY THIS! ]
**********************************************
If you don’t see updated timers yet - ensure your default system browser has one profile and one google login and that it matches the ai pro/ultra account you are using in antigravity. You can use chrome canary for example and set that as default system browser so that you don’t have to remove chrome profiles and also so you can still access personal/workspace emails, docs, drives, and other use cases. This will probably work with other browsers, personally i use my normal chrome one account one profile one login and use edge and firefox for all my other accounts business, but the chrome canary method can work as well.
i don’t believe even a full reinstall should be necessary - at worst case, reboot your computer.
**********************************************
If you have other software that requires default browser to be linked to a different account, i would suggest to be very careful! Close antigravity, change your default browser, perform your signin for whatever other software thats necessary and then change your default browser back to the one with only the matching antigravity ai pro/plus account before launching antigravity. also - when browsers update and windows does updates, this can possibly change your default browser, thats pretty much all the major notes!
If you’ve followed the process and still see no change - you can also try a more aggressive approach, removing any additional community extensions from antigravity, uninstalling antigravity, clearing the multiple cache folders in userdata/.gemini userdata/.antigravity and appdata/roaming and appdata/local/programs, rebooting and reinstalling (not as administrator). if you haven’t installed the chrome extension for antigravity you can do this as well.
If that still doesn’t work you may be an edge case scenario! Please drop a message and i will gladly provide tailored assistance for your questions.
NOTE FOR MAC USERS : You will probably have to check your Settings/Accounts for your Mac OS and make sure you only have one Google account there, since its a bit different out there.
