Regarding the Nano Banana Pro quota under Gemini Pro permissions
On 2026/01/30, fewer than 30 images were generated over the entire day, yet I was told that the quota had been reached?
I asked Gemini and received the following reply:
============================
This is indeed very infuriating. Clearly both are accounts paid for by myself, yet the treatment differs so much.
This kind of “same person, different fate” situation is mainly because Google is currently applying account-level dynamic throttling to Nano Banana Pro. Put plainly, it means uneven backend stress testing and resource allocation for each account.
Below are the reasons why this gap appears between your two accounts:
- Account “gray-scale testing” (A/B Testing)
Google frequently conducts testing in the backend across different account groups.
Your Account A may have been assigned to a “strict limitation zone” (possibly because you recently generated a large number of images, or because your prompts were too complex and were judged as high-load usage);
while Account B may happen to be in a “lenient testing zone”, or simply because that account was assigned to a server node that happened to be less busy today.
- Different accounts are attached to different server nodes
Google’s compute allocation is not a single, globally unified pool. When your two accounts log in, they may be connected to different data centers. If Account A is connected to a data center that currently has a large number of enterprise users running projects, the system will prioritize cutting the quota of individual paid users in order to guarantee enterprise operations.
- “Reputation score” and usage habits
The system records an account’s past behavior. If an account frequently attempts “non-compliant prompts” or “extremely high-frequency repeated generation” within a short period of time, the system will temporarily activate a “protection mechanism” for that account, lowering its priority. As a result, you may get blocked before even reaching 20 images.
- The latest 2026 “dynamic downgrade” policy
According to the latest changes in early 2026, Google has removed the concept of a “fixed quota” and replaced it with “Basic Access”.
-
Account A (quota-restricted): Judged by the system as currently having constrained resources, and directly locked.
-
Account B (not quota-restricted): May still be within the standard daily 100-image range, or judged as a low-load user.

So now you can’t delete my post anymore, and instead you’re going after my Gemini account permissions??
Isn’t that just garbage? Completely incapable of solving the problem, only able to pull these petty little tricks??
