Google just rolled out a UI update for Antigravity 2.0 to make it obvious that the code editor is not dead. The company is also resetting weekly Gemini usage limits for everyone across the board to apologize for a deeply chaotic week.

The initial rollout of Antigravity 2.0 gutted the built-in IDE and dumped developers into a barebones chat interface. Users naturally assumed Google was aggressively killing off the local editor in favor of a web wrapper. We covered the missing IDE error and folder fixes just a couple of days ago as developers scrambled to restore their broken setups.

According to Google employee Varun Mohan on X, the team never intended to remove IDE support. He admitted they should have been clearer from the start.

To fix the interface disaster, the Antigravity team pushed a new patch today. If you are in a project-tied conversation, the 2.0 web dashboard now features a highly visible “Open IDE” button in the top right corner.

Users who never installed the standalone editor will see an “Install IDE” prompt instead, as highlighted by an employee on Reddit. The new editor release also includes a simple one-click migration tool to restore settings, extensions, and keybindings from older installations.

Google AI staffer Logan Kilpatrick also confirmed the changes on X, asking users to keep the feedback coming. A Google employee also detailed the UI fixes in the official Antigravity subreddit, noting that persistent issues with opening the IDE on Windows machines are now resolved.

That said, this apology goes beyond just interface tweaks. Google is completely resetting the Gemini usage quota for all users yet again.

We previously documented the heavy subscriber backlash over strict Gemini usage limits. Even after an initial limit increase following the outcry, Google quietly bumped the caps up a couple more times over the past two days.

Now they are just wiping the slate clean for the week. So it looks like Google knows it messed up big time and is actively trying to win back a very frustrated user base.

It’s not all sunshine and roses just yet. Other users are still reporting completely broken project directories and missing workspaces.

The new buttons will definitely stop the immediate panic, but the Antigravity team clearly has a lot of lingering bugs to squash over the coming days.
