Gemini user hits 5-hour usage cap after a single prompt, Google responds

• Google’s new compute-based Gemini limits are frustrating users who say they are hitting usage caps far too quickly.
• One Google AI Pro subscriber shared video proof showing that a single failed video-generation prompt consumed their entire five-hour allowance in just minutes.
• Google has acknowledged the complaint and is looking into the matter.

Google recently rolled out new compute-based usage limits for its AI plans, changing the way usage quotas are calculated. Instead of a fixed prompt limit, Gemini now uses a credit-style system that takes into account the complexity of prompts, the features being used, and the overall length of conversations.
