【Quota】Shadow-nerfing Family Group Quotas without ANY notice?

Google Antigravity

I want to add some important findings from Google’s own official documentation that directly contradict the idea of a “shared quota pool” for Family Group members.

1. Official Google One AI page ( Google AI Plans with Cloud Storage - Google One ) states:

“Family plan members on a Google AI Pro plan can enjoy AI benefits and features at no extra cost.”

The word used is “enjoy” — as in each member individually enjoys the benefits. Not “share a limited pool among yourselves.”

2. The plan descriptions for Antigravity specifically say:

  • Google AI Pro: “Higher rate limits to agent model in Google Antigravity”
  • Google AI Ultra: “Highest rate limits to agent model in Google Antigravity”

These are described as tier-based rate limits per subscription level — not as a single shared bucket split across family members.

3. Footnote 9 on the same official page explicitly defines what IS shared:

“AI credits (daily and monthly) are shared across Flow and Whisk.”

This footnote specifically calls out Flow and Whisk as having shared credits. If Family Group members were also supposed to share a quota pool, this would absolutely be stated here. The absence of any such note is itself evidence that per-member independent quotas were the intended design.

4. Google’s own Help documentation consistently states:

“Each family member uses their own Google account, and individual usage remains private and separate.”

Storage is explicitly described as a “shared pool.” AI usage limits are consistently described as “individual” and “per-user.”

So to summarize: Google’s own official product page, footnotes, and help documentation all point to Family Group members having independent AI quotas. There is zero documentation anywhere stating that Antigravity or AI Studio quotas are shared across family members.

Yet today, they are shared. With no announcement, no changelog update, and no footnote revision.

This is not a gray area. This directly contradicts Google’s own published materials.

I’m trying to contact to another Google Help chat to see what they say

24

The second one says the same I think it’s the end of it we all lost

can we make refund of the plan if we subscriped yesterday?

@Seif_Moustafa Two separate Google Help agents confirming the same thing — this is no longer a “maybe” or a “bug.” This is a deliberate, confirmed policy change.

And yet, as of right now, Google’s own official product page at Google AI Plans with Cloud Storage - Google One STILL advertises that family members can “enjoy AI benefits and features” — with zero mention of shared quotas. The footnotes still only list Flow and Whisk as having shared credits. Nothing about Antigravity. Nothing about AI Studio. Nothing about family-wide pooling.

This means one of two things:

  1. Google changed the policy but hasn’t updated their own marketing materials — which is misleading at best.
  2. Google’s support agents are giving out incorrect information — which is incompetent at best.

Either way, paying customers are being harmed right now based on promises that are still live on Google’s own website.

We should not let this slide quietly. I strongly encourage everyone affected by this to:

  • File a formal complaint through Google One support
  • Report this thread to the Antigravity team directly so it gets escalated beyond front-line support
  • Keep documenting your experience with screenshots and timestamps

The official product page has not changed. The terms have not been updated. Until Google publicly announces and documents this change, we have every right to hold them to what is currently published.

@Logan_Kilpatrick — We are still waiting for an offical response. Your own documentation contradicts what your support agents are telling us. Which one is correct?

26

Yes we need a clear explaination @Logan_Kilpatrick

27

Yes! Why make changes secretly without notifying the users?

29

Same thing happend to me, had to renew my plan and now I only have one pool. Before that everything just worked fine..

30

Yes exactly why making that without even telling us!

31

It seems like they are doing an A/B test or a staged rollout.
Some of my accounts are sharing their quota with my family.
Following the shadowbans, they are really pulling some dirty moves.
I had a last bit of hope that things would go back to normal around I/O, with the shadowbans being lifted and new models being released, but I can no longer find any reason to keep my Ultra plan.
I’m moving to Claude.

32

It won’t return they confirmed

The issue the price of claude

Ultra was the best value with best price but now it not worth 1$

34

Yes, it is !
”Ultra” Plan??? Hahahaha

35

I’ve been on the AI Premium plan with independent quotas for my family members for a while. Recently, I had a brief (one-week) lapse in my subscription due to a payment method issue. As soon as I updated my billing and the account moved back to the paid tier, the quotas were suddenly consolidated.

Instead of the independent limits we had before the lapse, we are now pulling from a single shared pool. It’s frustrating that a simple billing fix essentially acted as a “reset” that applied these new, more restrictive backend rules without any notification.

Is anyone else seeing this shift specifically after a renewal or a payment update? It feels like the “independent quota” status is being stripped the moment an account undergoes any billing change?

36

I can unfortunately confirm this is the case. The AI quota is now a communal pool for the entire family, meaning once the credits run dry, the whole household is officially exiled to the digital Stone Age for days.

**It’s a masterclass in shady Silicon Valley maneuvering. No notifications, no changelogs—just a silent policy change slipped under the door in the dead of night.

37

It’s really embarrassing to have no hint at all.

38

Antigravity and Google is becoming … First, your servers cant even handle the load of regular users, throwing 'Our servers are experiencing high traffic’s AND still consuming our tokens even when NOTHING IS DONE. Next, you removed the individual token pool for users in the same family group WITH NO NOTICE.Do you really expect us users to not see this change? Shut the service down if you cant handle the load, stop making us pay for disappointment.

39

How can they just do that. This was the reason Ì choose the family plan.

What a disappointment, change the rules in the middle of the game.

Unaceptable Google

40

What about today, still not shared ? I was also fine until today.

42

you are wrong! it’s share pool, confirmed for 2 days

44

I just found this bad news, this is so frustrating! I shared my account with some family members, and all quota models are exhausted. I cannot believe this situation is happening. What’s next, Google? 10 requests per month!

45

Competitors at least explain their changes for the (much) worse. Stealth-nerfing paid products is totally absurd.
