The Gemini subreddit is full of people dunking on Google for the suddenly tighter limits. One user said that they\u2019re canceling their Pro subscription after exhausting 50% of their usage limit with a simple five prompt back-and-forth with the AI (via PiunikaWeb).<\/p>\n

Worse yet is the fact that Google is now using five-hour windows to restrict usage, with limits clearing after each cycle until a user reaches their weekly limit. This basically locks out users from using Gemini until the window resets.<\/p>\n

These limits aren\u2019t unheard of, either. Claude already uses five-hour windows to restrict usage and it also uses an exponentially larger number of tokens in longer threads. On Anthropic\u2019s AI, users often have to break their tasks into smaller subtasks and create new chats to reduce token usage. The same is now happening with Gemini, and users are understandably upset.<\/p>\n

Some users are also reporting that Gemini sometimes automatically switches to using the Flash model even when the Pro model is selected, simply because of high demand. There are many people chiming in, and nearly every one is upset with the new usage limits.<\/p>\n

Another user claimed that the personalization feature drastically affects limits as well. Some users are also upset that Google didn\u2019t inform them of the changes.<\/p>\n

It seems that the emails weren\u2019t sent to all users. I haven\u2019t received any email informing me about changes to the Pro plan. However,\u00a0Android Authority\u2019s\u00a0Managing Editor, Adamya Sharma, did get an email informing her of the new compute limits and changes to the credit system.<\/p>\n
