Google faces global backlash from paid users over its new pay-by-compute policy for Gemini AI, criticized for overly restrictive quotas that hinder developers. In response, Google DeepMind's Antigravity director announced emergency measures: resetting current weekly quotas for Pro and Ultra subscribers, implementing a permanent threefold quota increase for core development scenarios, and offering a limited-time $100 bonus quota to Ultra users. The policy had tied usage costs to computational complexity and chat history length, disproportionately affecting heavy users. Google acknowledged underestimating power-user consumption and pledged ongoing feedback review.
