Gemini Ultra Subscribers Slam New "Unacceptable" Usage Limits
Paid subscribers are upset about new limits on how many questions they can ask. Even the most expensive plan now has strict caps that make it hard to get work done.
People paying for Gemini Ultra are complaining loudly online about new usage restrictions. A new "rolling limit" means you can only ask about 20 questions every few hours, even though the service was supposed to be unlimited. There is also a weekly limit that power users are hitting very quickly. Once you hit the limit, the system forces you to use a much simpler model called "Gemini Flash Lite," which isn't smart enough for complex work. Many feel the high-cost "Ultra tier" is no longer worth the price.
Key points
- A rolling limit now restricts users to about 20 questions every few hours.
- New weekly limits make it easy to run out of usage in just one day.
- After hitting the limit, you are forced to use the weaker Gemini Flash Lite model.
- Subscribers feel the high monthly fee is no longer worth it due to these caps.
