[Ultra] Dramatic quota reduction after update — this needs an official explanation

If Ultra’s quota being reduced is a bug, then Google engineers must have caused it by coding with Gemini. Just look at that bug where the workflows can’t be found—how many times has that happened! I want to code using Gemini Pro, but it just messes up the code!

If that’s really the case, Google should acknowledge it and provide an official explanation.

I have been noticing this recently. Absolutely insane this MUST be a significant bug of some kind. Would really like to see Google address it. Can’t justify Ultra if it simply doesn’t bring the value for the cost.

I’m afraid this is the new reality. Based on Reddit forums, it looks like Claude and ChatGPT are facing the same issue, so it’s global.

There are reports that CC is back to normal.

Maybe ULTRA is also coming back to normal if these issues are connected?

This still doesn’t solve anything. Google is burning through the credibility it has built up over so many years.

As one of Anthropic’s major investors, and with Anthropic even using Google’s TPUs, I don’t believe there isn’t any communication between the two. Even if it really is an issue on Anthropic’s end rather than Google intentionally throttling the quota, Anthropic has status.claude.com to provide real-time updates on the current fix, while Google has nothing, and their replies to developers are all just copy-pasted content.

An acceptable process would be for Google to also issue a statement after an issue arises at Anthropic, informing us that it’s an upstream problem, that availability will be low for the next few days, and that we should make adjustments accordingly.

The days of Inference subsidy is over. Google has pulled the plug. Anthropic is doing the same. OpenAI has done it with Sora.

Seriously what has happened to developers? Let’s do some brain coding please.

It doesn’t look like my experience with AG was enhanced since the latest update.

Also AG models seems to be dumber than before.

Yet they have offered not a single sincere explanation, nor apology, nor resolution to the AI credits that have been burning fast due to their severe reduction to the Ultra plan quota. Nothing, just a bunch of copy-pasted insincere messages.

There’s no point in paying for the ultra plan for such a small number of tokens. I canceled it.

I predict this is how it will end up. Based on how they handled the Pro subscription before, they first quietly changed the quota limits and restrictions. Then a wave of complaints broke out on the forum, with many people assuming it was a bug. Staff replied that they had already passed the issue on to the engineers for investigation, but nothing was changed, so it gradually became a fait accompli. Then, about one or two weeks later, they posted on X to confirm the change, and that was the end of it.

What happened is that if you pay for a product, you want to know what you are getting back exactly. Not “more or less”, since how much you are paying is well defined on a schedule.
If there is a quota reduction, that means that the service has become more expensive, and so its value has decreased.
Balancing cost vs output is what gives value to a product. If the cost becomes larger than the human cost for me to implement the same thing directly, then buying a “premium” product beceomes not worth it.

As for me, I’m going to leave, but could someone answer my question? Google AI Ultra for 2 months - Claude's quota reduction observed - #8 by Antoine_SVC

Wait ultra now has a weekly limit??

Hier ist die englische Übersetzung deines Textes nochmal:


I haven’t used Gemini Pro 3.1 low or high for 5 days to save quota. Yesterday I worked 2 hours (maybe 20 prompts), then logged out. Today I worked 1 hour (max 10 prompts) and now have a 6-day lockout.

This is absolutely disproportionate and makes work impossible. I’m definitely not a power user. I can’t handle all my tasks only with Gemini 3 Flash either.

The subscription is unusable with the new quotas.
Please check if there’s an error with my account.

Nice to hear, I just unsubscribed. Anthropic offers 10x the coding capacity for the same price, I’ll just buy two of their subscriptions

Thank you for your reply, but it fails to address the actual problem.

I purchased the Google AI Ultra plan based on the access and model availability offered at the time. Until March 25, 2026, those conditions were available to me without the restrictions I am now seeing. Those limits were introduced overnight and without prior notice.

That is unacceptable.

This is not a question of “flexibility,” “control,” or “scaling.” It is a question of Google materially changing the effective service conditions of its highest-priced plan after purchase, while continuing to charge $250 USD per month.

I did not subscribe to Ultra to be told afterward that premium access would be constrained unless I adapted to a new credit-based structure. I subscribed to Ultra specifically because it was represented as the top-tier offering with superior access.

If the plan’s practical value has been reduced, then one of two things must happen: either the original access conditions must be restored, or the price must be adjusted accordingly.

At this stage, I am requesting a clear and specific resolution, not a marketing explanation of the updated structure. Please confirm:

  • whether Ultra users have lost access or had their effective quotas reduced,

  • whether this change is permanent,

  • why no prior notice was provided, and

  • what compensation, price reduction, or corrective action will be offered.

I expect a direct answer to those points.

Not true. I used Antigravity for a weekend and was hit with the hard weekly limit that didn’t refresh even after waiting a week (I had to wait for 2 weeks to get some back).

Last weekend I tired to switch to OpenAI Codex and was able to use the tool even more than I first used Antigravity and still had 62% of my weekly quota left

最近的额度超级缩水,难道不通知规则变更就直接砍掉额度吗???你们这是在骗人
