Gemini’s restrictive usage limits are getting another overhaul
Google is revising the usage limits for its Gemini AI following user feedback. The changes include capping the quota consumption for complex prompts and providing a more detailed usage breakdown. These adjustments aim to enhance user experience by allowing for longer usage periods and clearer notifications.
- ▪Google switched to compute-based usage limits for Gemini after I/O 2026.
- ▪Users previously found the prompt-based limits too restrictive and reported exhausting their quotas quickly.
- ▪The new changes include capping how much quota a single prompt can consume and ensuring that only successful completions count against the quota.
