After users started complaining about Gemini’s new usage limits, Google has now announced that it’s making changes based on that feedback.
One of the bigger announcements from Google I/O 2026 was the shift away from fixed message limits toward a new compute-based usage system. Under the new setup, Gemini usage is capped within rolling five-hour windows, alongside a broader weekly usage limit.
However, users quickly started complaining on Reddit and X that they were hitting those limits much sooner than expected. One user claimed they exhausted a significant portion of their quota with a single prompt, while another reported hitting the limit while asking Gemini Omni to generate a video before the request had even finished processing.
