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

It should be illegal to change the terms of the subscription mid-period. If you paid for the full year, you should get that plan for the whole year. I don't understand how it's ok for corporations to just change the terms mid-way, and we just have to accept it.

  T&C?

    I'm sure the T&C say something like "you're going to pay us money, and we reserve the right to give you something for it, or maybe nothing, and you should thank us for the privilege".

  > It should be illegal to change the terms of the subscription mid-period Unfortunately, at least for those of us in the US, there isn't legally much that can be done. It's simply not possible to make a contract that would obligate a company to fulfill its promises on this type of sale.

Don't bother upgrading to ultra. It's also now easy to burn all your credits where in Jan it was almost impossible

It's the exact same thing they did with Google BigQuery, which initially was an absolutely amazing piece of technology before they smothered it with more and more limits and restrictions. It's like they're putting SREs first, customers second.
