Recent Antigravity Changes Have Seriously Hurt the Experience

I usually do not post negative feedback, but this update genuinely frustrated me enough to write this.

The two biggest issues are:

1. Massive Reduction in Usable Limits

Earlier versions allowed long, practical workflows without constantly worrying about usage.

Now:

  • Limits feel far more restrictive
  • Lighter/preview models are gone
  • Everything is forced onto Medium/High models
  • The experience feels throttled much faster

What made Antigravity enjoyable was freedom and iteration speed. That feeling is mostly gone now.

2. Loss of the Same-Screen Editor + Agent Workflow

This was honestly the BEST part of Antigravity.

Earlier:

  • Editor and Agent worked together naturally
  • You could code, inspect, iterate, and orchestrate in one smooth flow
  • The experience felt futuristic and productivity-focused

Now:

  • Workflow feels fragmented
  • Context switching feels worse
  • The editor-agent interaction no longer feels seamless

This single change alone significantly reduced the usability for me.

A lot of users liked Antigravity specifically because it felt flexible, fast, and unrestricted compared to alternatives.

Right now it feels like the platform moved in the opposite direction.

Please consider:

  • Restoring better usable limits
  • Bringing back lighter/preview models
  • Restoring the same-screen editor + agent workflow
  • Giving users more workflow flexibility again

I agree with you. I was also very disappointed when I got V2.0. At the very least, they could have given users the option to keep using both the 1.x series and the new 2.0.

Talking about 3.5 Flash, it’s definitely faster than 3.1 Pro, but it consumes a lot more context to get results done, so it’s very easy to burn through your quota in minutes if you don’t keep it under control.

What disappointed me the most was the actual intelligence itself. I had a regression in my project, so I asked 3.5 Flash High to fix it (yes, I wanted to try the maximum setting). The result? I lost all my quota without any results. It kept changing my codebase over and over — reverting, committing, modifying things everywhere — but absolutely nothing was happening on the frontend.

I had to wait until the next day, and to my surprise, all my quota came back! So I thought the 5-hour refresh had become active again. Then I went back to the same issue. I tried 3.5 Medium, High, and even Claude Opus. Nothing. Zero. No changes at all on the frontend. I used all my quota again, but I needed to fix the project, so I started using credits instead. I spent around 1000 credits and still got no results.

At the end, I gave up and started waiting for the 5-hour refresh again to see if I would get my quota back. Then I remembered I also had Codex available. I gave it a try, and within 10 minutes — using just the minimum account that gives some free weekly quota — it detected the REAL problem.

It was simply a CSS rule setting a div to display: none!!!

Can you imagine? I wasted around 10 hours of quota for absolutely nothing. They kept changing my entire codebase when everything was already in place. It was just a simple CSS issue that none of them recognized.

Yes, I know I probably should have spotted the issue myself, but you know… vibe coding has made me so lazy about checking things manually.

Anyway, my suggestion is to use both Antigravity and Codex on the same project. When you run out of quota on one, you can switch to the other. This way you can use Gemini, Claude, and Codex together for just $20 on Gemini and $20 on Codex.

just an update… the hours has gone and not it shows 30% of full refresh with a lock down of 6 days!! at lease when this happened before I was able to keep going on using flash 3Flash now there is not any lower model to keep working… I’m very upset and disappointed!

I signed up just to say: 1) I’ve been using AGY since launch in November '25 2) have been a HUGE fan since then and am convinced this is the future of agentic development 3) noticed the continuously increasing limits on our quotas over time but said nothing as Flash 3.0 was generous and good enough, so I used that as my workhorse, and drafted Pro/Opus for harder coding tasks 4) Now, after 4 turns, have run out of the Flash 3.5, on very basic stuff 5) waited 5 hours, got 1 bar back. Guys, I would happily upgrade to Ultra, but you’ve killed off usage there too. Don’t be so stingy, or at least price it in a way that we can actually use what we’re paying for?

yup same here brother 6days locked out

Could not agree more I had been using antigravity for a long time and most of my work was satisfied using the flash model and never reached the quota limits ever, now with just 1 day of having the update which was forced and is not possible to be rolled back because they have changed the model rate limits themselves, I have reached the rate limits already twice in the same daya and that too just using the flash model and it has blocked out all other models aswell now. And I am onteh google Ai Pro plan which is costing me 2k per month and this si what we get for paying this much now

Exact same issues here, so now i wonder if the AI bubble is finally about to burst boys, and this is just the beginning of the inevitable… Not everyone wants to be “Suddenly Amish”, if it goes down to choosing AI or Amish…

Today I’ve found my quota completely filled up after just 1 day instead of 6 days as stated in the beginning, it seems they have changed something on the quota calculation, let’s see how it will evolve in the next hours :slight_smile:

Same here!

i was just using the flash model, but now that the 3.0 flash is gone, somehow using flash also took my pro tokens ??

and what’s worst, it tells me that the quota will refresh in 6 days ???

google might as well tells its customer base to “go unsubscribe and pick other AI agents like claude or gpt 5.5”

the loss of IDE in AG is a pain.
so i uninstalled AG 2 and installed AG IDE, but guess what, all my settings gone.
i’m really considering going back to claude with VScode now…

Are you paying for higher usage limits?

I absolutely love it when my entire weeks quota gets burned just because Google’s servers are erroring…

for me also, 6 days ! and not reseting in 6 hours.
