TL;DR: Google’s agent-first IDE, Antigravity, promised a 5-hour quota reset but is currently locking AI Pro users out for up to 7 days. The built-in bug reporter is also broken, leaving users stranded with zero support. Google give a kind gentle nudge to upgrade to the $200/month plan instead if you want more limits.
The 120-Hour Reality Check
Google promised a seamless AI coding experience with 5-hour reset limits in Antigravity. But for developers who signed up for the AI Pro plan, there's a different reality.
Instead of a quick 5-hour reset, users are getting hit with lockouts lasting 120 hours (~5 days),in some cases, a full 7 days.
AI Pro Plan
At $20 a month, the AI Pro plan was positioned as the perfect sweet spot between the restrictive free tier and the heavy-duty Ultra plan. Many developers signed up hoping to supercharge their workflows now, perhaps upgrading to Ultra later if the ROI made sense.
According to the community forums, Google's current suggestion to resolve this massive bottleneck is for users to move up to the $200 AI Ultra plan.
As you can imagine, the community views this as a slap in the face. Rather than upgrading, many users are actively weighing whether to downgrade to the free tier or cancel their subscriptions entirely.
One user on the Google Dev forums summarized the sentiment perfectly:
"I no longer use those Antigravity agents, only my Claude subscription. I do not want to feel like I am having a stroke every day because of unfair terms and the complete lack of communication." > — google.dev user
For context, here is a screenshot from an AI Pro user's Antigravity model console, showing the exorbitant wait time for the quota to reset:
The Irony of the IDE Bug
Adding a layer of irony to the situation, Antigravity actually has an internal issue-reporting feature designed to capture logs and send feedback directly to the team.
Naturally, when users found themselves locked out for a week, they rushed to the issue submission tool to report it. The result? The bug reporter itself is broken.
Most users then took to the google developer forum to express their dissatisfaction.
Will Upgrading Save You?
For those considering biting the bullet and dropping $200 on Ultra just to bypass the lockouts, current subscribers are warning against it. According to those users on the highest tier, paying 10x the price might not even solve the problem.
"I’m an Ultra subscriber, do not upgrade bro. Right now it’s the same situation with quota. No support, no announcements, just silent quota cut off."

Alternatives to Antigravity
With the ongoing uncertainty, many developers are looking to jump ship. Here are the alternatives gaining the most traction in the fallout:
- Claude Code (Anthropic) - Arguably the most popular daily driver right now.
- OpenAI Codex
- Open-Source Tools: Cline, Aider, and Continue.dev
