Something similar is happening with GitHub Copilot too. It's impossible to know what a "request" is and some change in the last couple of months has seen my request usage go up for the same style of work. Toss in the bizarre and impossible to understand rate limiting that occurs with regular usage and it's pretty obvious that these companies are struggle to scale.

I find copilot to be much more straightforward, and I can track per request against my credits. Here is the explanation of what a request is:

Fellow annoyed Google AI Pro subscriber here!

Can confirm, I initially enjoyed the 5-hour limits on Gemini CLI and Antigravity so much that I paid for a full year, thinking it was a great decision

In the following months, they significantly cut the 5-hour limits (not sure if it even exists anymore), introduced the unrealistically bad weekly limit that I can fully consume in 1-2 hour, introduced the monthly AI credits system, and added ads to upgrade to Ultra everywhere

At the very least the Gemini mobile app / web app is still kinda useful for project planning and day-to-day use I guess. They also bumped the storage from 2TB to 5TB, but I don't even use that

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm using the Codex Business subscription (about 30€) already for multiple months. Even there they cut back on the quota. A few months back it was hard for me to reach the limit. Now it is easier. Still, in comparison with Claude Code, the quota of Codex is a much better deal. However, they should not make it worse...

OpenAI had a promotion that gave everyone double their rate limits until April 2nd.

Promotion has been extended til May 31st for the $100 and $200 subs.

At the same time, they’ve been giving out a ton of additional quota resets seemingly every other week (and committed to an additional reset for every million additional users until they hit 10mil on codex).

So they’ve really set a high bar for people’s expectations on their quota limits.

Once they drop the 2x promotion for good and stop the frequent resets, there are going to be a lot of complaints.

I don't get it. Last week on the 100 bucks plan I generated probably 50k LOC (not a quality measure for sure!) and just barely kissed the weekly limit. I did get rate limited on some sessions for sure, but that's to be expected. I'm curious what are people doing that is consuming your limits? I can't imagine filling the $200 a month plan unless I was essentially using Claude code itself as the api to mass process stu…

What does it look like when you get rate limited? Does the instance just kind of sit and spin? I suspect I was getting rate limited very aggressively on Thursday last week. It honestly infuriated me, because I'm paying $200 a month for this thing. If it's going to rate limit me, at least tell me what it's doing instead of just making it seem like it's taking 12 hours to run through something that I would expect to be…

I’ve never been actually rate limited. Usage limits display in yellow when you’re above 90%. At the limit, you’ll get a red error message.

> Anthropic CAN change their limits and rates as they see fit, there’s never been hard promises or SLOs on these plans.

No they can't. When I buy an annual subscription and prepay for the year, they can't just go "ok now you get one token a month" a day in. I bought the plan as I bought it. They can't change anything until the next renewal.

I pay for the lowest plan. I used to struggle to hit my quota. Now a single question consistently uses around 15% of my quota

My take is that was the plan all along. Once people won't be able to think anymore and business expect the level of productivity witnessed before, will have no choice but cough up whatever providers bill us.

And it’s working larger because the other models haven’t figured out how to provide a consistent, long running experience.

My personal experience is way different: I struggle to burn through more than 50% of the 5 hour limit For context, with Google AI Pro, I can burn through the Antigravity weekly limit in 1-2 hours if I force it to use Gemini 3.1 Pro. Meanwhile Gemini 3 Flash is basically unlimited but frequently produces buggy code or fail to implement things how I personally would (felt like it doesn't "think" like a software dev) I…

Reading the other negative comments makes me wonder if this is only because I'm getting a hidden newcomer's limit bonus or something though hahah

Looks like enshittification on steroids, honestly.
